Description
In the pursuit to develop an online data portal for visualizing and downloading climatological data from around Hawaiʻi, a need to compile and generate large amounts of data was identified. While some tools are available for handling and distributing this data, they were not sufficient for several core features required of the project, including generating and emailing users zipped packages of requested data. To fulfill the requirements of this project and provide programmatic access to the data, an API was developed. This paper will introduce the endpoints and functions made available through this API and describe its implementation and potential for adoption by other projects.
