Newsletter January 2024

On Wednesday, the 24th of January 2024, we will organize the KNMI Data Platform API workshop. This day, aimed at anyone using or planning to use KNMI data, you can learn about the APIs the Data Platform has to offer. There is also plenty of opportunity to share with us your wishes and desires around KNMI data provisioning and API developments. The day is hands-on and primarily aimed at software developers and researchers using KNMI data. 

The morning is divided into two parallel sessions, during which you can attend a workshop of your choice twice. The topics covered include our Open Data API, the new EDR API, the WMS API, the Notification Service, and the use of GeoWeb components. See the full program for more information. 

The day will take place in De Bilt, free of charge, and lunch will be provided. Workshops will be in English. For participation in a workshop, you will need to bring a laptop. Sign up using the registration form (required, limited seats available).
