Area
For the Point request, you can use any longitude and latitude you want inside the valid
geographic area (se the Corner points table below, or the Polygon request). If the point is outside of
the valid are, you will get a HTTP 400 - FIELD POINT OUT OF BOUNDS. The longitude and latitude can be specified as
integer or floating point with up to six decimal places. Otherwise the API will return HTTP 404 - Not found.
See Reference System for more information about the spatial reference system and latitude and longitude coordinates.

Polygon
You can get the bounding box polygon for the forecast area. You get the answer as a
GeoJSON Polygon
.
GET /api/category/{category}/version/{version}/geotype/polygon.json
| Category | For now, there are one category for the API, pmp3g.
|
| Version | When the API for a given category is changed, the version is increased. Old versions will be
available for a limited time.
|
MultiPoint
You can get all the grid points for the forecast area. You get the answer as a
GeoJSON MultiPoint
. The index for each point matches the index in the value array from the MultiPoint request.
The query parameter
downsample
allows an integer between 0-20. A downsample value of 2 means that every other value horizontally and vertically is displayed.
NB! The answer is static and will not change for the given
category
and
version
.
NB! Your client must accept encoding GZIP. Otherwise you will get a HTTP 406 error.
GET /api/category/{category}/version/{version}/geotype/multipoint.json?downsample=2
Accept-Encoding: gzip
| Category | For now, there are one category for the API, pmp3g.
|
| Version | When the API for a given category is changed, the version is increased. Old versions will be
available for a limited time.
