Custom Connector
Climate Change Indicators Dashboard
Global
The Climate Change Indicators Dashboard API, provided by the IMF, offers structured access to global climate and environmental data. It enables developers, researchers, and policymakers to retrieve datasets, metadata, and feeds for analysis of how economic activity affects climate change — supporting global datasets on IMF’s production server.
Overview
Integration Overview
The connector exposes core endpoints for DCAT-AP and DCAT-US metadata feeds, an RSS feed, an OGC Records search API, and a sitemap.
- getDcatApFeed. Retrieve dataset metadata in DCAT-AP 2.0.1 format.
- getDcatUsFeed. Retrieve dataset metadata in DCAT-US 1.1 format.
- getRssFeed. Access the RSS 2.0 feed of climate indicators.
- searchOgcRecords. Search datasets using the OGC CSW/Records API.
- getSitemap. Retrieve the XML sitemap of all datasets.
