OceanOPS Web Service API is a REST API designed to distribute metadata, in interoperable and ready-to-use formats.
OceanOPS Web Service API is a REST API designed to distribute metadata, in interoperable and ready-to-use formats, to integrate other software (usually under machine to machine schema). The metadata distributed by this API are available in two common data formats: .json, and .xml (WMDR compliant).
This API is primarily dedicated to the GOOS community and further to research and operational, oceanographic and meteorological communities, not to the large public.
