🌍 Regional Monitoring API

EarthDaily delivers a wide range of digital agriculture services through multiple channels:

  • Web platforms
  • Reports
  • Datasets
  • APIs

APIs allow external applications to access insights and analytics, expanding their capabilities and enabling seamless integration.

The EarthDaily API provides access to innovative and packaged solutions that can be easily integrated into your systems:

  • ✅ Access historical data (satellite archive and weather)
  • ✅ Access in-season data and forecast weather data
  • ✅ Embed analytics into your platform to supercharge your application in the marketplace

🧪 API Test Environment

EarthDaily provides credentials for the API Test Environment to allow integration and testing.

⚠️ The test environment contains a limited dataset and is intended for development purposes only.

🚀 API Production Environment

Access to the Production Environment is provided under a License Agreement and requires a valid user ID.

EarthDaily also provides access to a Service Desk with incident ticket tracking capabilities for support and troubleshooting.

🎯 What Is the Regional Monitoring API?

The Regional Monitoring API enables organizations to observe, analyze, and report on agricultural or environmental conditions across large geographic areas.

This capability is essential for businesses and institutions that need strategic insights at scale, such as crop monitoring, risk assessment, and market intelligence.

✅ How It Works

Regional monitoring leverages satellite imagery, remote sensing data, and weather analytics to provide a comprehensive view of crop and environmental conditions. Key features include:

  • Tracking crop development and vegetation health across entire regions
  • Analyzing soil moisture, NDVI, and crop masks to identify trends and anomalies
  • Comparing multiple datasets (e.g., weather, vegetation indices) for regional benchmarking

✅ Who Benefits?

  • Crop analysts and agribusinesses assessing crop conditions and yield potential over large territories
  • Government agencies and insurers validating production data and monitoring risks
  • Market intelligence teams integrating multiple data sources for strategic planning

✅ Why It Matters

Regional monitoring provides a high-level, data-driven perspective that supports better decision-making, resource allocation, and risk management across wide areas.

🔄 High-Level Workflow

workflow

  1. The client application sends a request to the API Service for each analytic to be generated.
  2. The back-end processes the request and generates the requested metrics.
  3. The API Service returns the response to the client application.
  4. In parallel, the back-end tracks all actions for reporting and invoicing.

🌦 What’s Included in the Weather Chain

Forecast Weather Models

  • ENS model (ECMWF*, probabilistic, 20 km resolution, forecast D+14)
  • GFS model (NOAA-NCEP**, deterministic, 25 km resolution, forecast D+14)

Historical Data

  • Historical data depth from 1990 to 2019 (today minus 15 days)

Sliding Reprocessing

  • D - 3 months, then D - 15 days
  • ERA-5* (ECMWF) historical data integrated at the beginning of each month:
  • Current Month minus 3 months data
  • Example: On July 31, the last available data is April 30 (3 months delay)
  • ERA-5T* (ECMWF) historical data integrated day by day at D-15 days
  • ENS (ECMWF) D0 values (pseudo-analysis) stored from D0 to last ERA-5T historical available data (D-15 days)
