Key Features

Enterprise-grade reliability built into every prediction.

Version Tracking

All predictions are permanently addressable through model version identifiers. Reproduce any result at any time.

Data Validation

Strict validation of all inputs and outputs. Fail-fast on anomalies. No silent failures.

Temporal Isolation

Predictions are causally isolated. No future data leaks into historical predictions.

Scope Note This API provides statistical climate pattern predictions based on observational data. It does not simulate atmospheric physics at weather prediction resolution. Use for climate risk analysis, strategic planning, and long-term forecasting.

Authentication & Rate Limits

Secure API access with rate limiting for fair usage.

API Key Authentication

All requests require an API key in the X-API-Key header. Obtain your key from your account dashboard.

Rate Limiting

Standard tier: 1,000 requests/hour. Enterprise tiers available for higher volumes.

HTTPS Required

All API requests must use HTTPS. TLS 1.2 or higher.
