Reference API Reference OpenET provides data at different scales. You can retrieve the data summarized for millions of individual fields or in the original raster format.
Account Endpoints
Information retrieval for your account.
Account Raster Endpoints
Custom data services. More computationally intensive, but more options available.
Raster Geodatabase Endpoints
Pre-computed data services. Faster to retrieve, but geometries are fixed.

Accepted Parameters
Here are the current API parameter names and input values. If you aren't sure about the datatype, check out the endpoint schemas or one of the provided examples. Optional parameters are not checked with their default in bold .
Note : capitalization is optional for parameter values, unless it is a predefined user value such as a shapefile attribute name.
