Climate Change Indicators Dashboard API
Integration Overview
The Climate Change Indicators Dashboard API, provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), offers structured access to global climate and environmental data. It enables developers, researchers, and policymakers to retrieve datasets, metadata, and feeds for analysis of how economic activity affects climate change. The API supports global datasets and is hosted on IMF’s production server.
Core Endpoints
- DCAT-AP Feed – Retrieve dataset metadata in DCAT-AP 2.0.1 format.
- DCAT-US Feed – Retrieve dataset metadata in DCAT-US 1.1 format.
- RSS Feed – Access RSS 2.0 feed of climate indicators.
- OGC Records API – Search datasets using OGC CSW/Records API.
- Sitemap – Retrieve XML sitemap of all datasets.
