Search for data

The freva-databrowser allows you to perform searches for climate datasets in a wide range of programming languages. The databrowser offers a python library freva_databrowser a command line interface (cli) - freva-databrowser and a REST API which allows you to easily integrate the API into your preferred language and environment. Whether you use Python, JavaScript, R, Julia, or any other language with HTTP request capabilities, the Freva Databrowser REST API accommodates your needs.

Getting Started

To begin using the freva-databrowser, you can make key-value paired queries to search for specific datasets based on different Data Reference Syntax (DRS) standards. The API currently supports several standards, including CMIP5, CMIP6, CORDEX, Freva, and NextGEMS. With the ability to combine these standards intelligently, the databrowser provides a comprehensive and versatile search entry point.

Authentication

The Freva Databrowser is open and publicly accessible, and as such, it doesn’t require authentication. This means you can quickly start exploring and accessing climate data without any additional setup.
