# Sinoptik
Sinoptik is a (REST) API service that provides an API for today's weather
forecast. It can provide you with a specific set or all available metrics
that it supports.
Currently supported metrics are:
* Air quality index (per hour, from [Luchtmeetnet])
* NO₂ concentration (per hour, from [Luchtmeetnet])
* O₃ concentration (per hour, from [Luchtmeetnet])
* Particulate matter (PM10) concentration (per hour, from [Luchtmeetnet])
* Pollen (per hour, from [Buienradar])
* Pollen/air quality index (per hour, from [Buienradar])
* Precipitation (per 5 minutes, from [Buienradar])
* UV index (per day, from [Buienradar])
[Buienradar]: https://buienradar.nl
[Luchtmeetnet]: https://luchtmeetnet.nl
Because of the currently supported data providers, only data for
The Netherlands can be queried.
## Building & running
Using Cargo, it is easy to build and run Sinoptik, just run:
```shell
$ cargo run --release
```
(Note that Rocket listens on 127.0.0.1:3000 by default for debug builds, i.e. if you don't
add `--release`.)
You can provide Rocket with configuration to use a different address and/or port.
Just create a `Rocket.toml` file that contains:
```toml
[default]
address = 0.0.0.0
port = 4321
```
## Forecast API
The `/forcast` endpoint provides forecasts per requested metric a list of
forecast item which are each comprised of a value and its (UNIX) timestamp.
It does so for a requested location.
### Locations
To select a location, you can either provide an address, or a geocoded position
by providing a latitude and longitude.
For example to get forecasts for all metrics for the Stationsplein in Utrecht,
use:
```
GET /forecast?address=Stationsplein,Utrecht&metrics[]=all
```
or directly by using its geocoded position:
```
GET /forecast?lat=52.0902&lon=5.1114&metrics[]=all
```
### Metrics
When querying, the metrics need to be selected. It can be one of: `AQI`, `NO2`,
`O3`, `PAQI`, `PM10`, `pollen`, `precipitation` or `UVI`. If you use metric `all`, or
`all` is part of the selected metrics, all metrics will be retrieved.
Note that the parameter "array" as well as the repeated parameter notations are supported. For example:
```
GET /address=Stationsplein,Utrecht&metrics[]=AQI&metrics[]=pollen
GET /address=Stationsplein,Utrecht&metrics=AQI&metrics=pollen
GET /address=Stationsplein,Utrecht&metrics=all
```
