get_source — One catalogue entry in full.
list_hubs — Projects and catalogues that collect sources (God's Eye View, World Monitor, the MCP Registry, Source Cooperative, .
list_places — Named places the fetchers read for, with their upstream ids (CO-OPS station, USGS gauge, eBird region) and tags.
get_readings — Fetch current readings from one source, each with value, unit, a one-line summary, place and provenance (source, URL, fetch time, licence).
list_datasets — Static public datasets this server holds as GeoJSON (wildfire burn perimeters, public-land share by county, federal campgrounds, fire-weather stations), with source, licence, feature count and parts (one per state, or "all").
get_dataset_part — The URL of one part of a dataset as GeoJSON, plus its description.
list_layers — Map layers this server can draw as GeoJSON, with unit, source, licence, whether it is available here, and how to read it.
get_layer — One map layer as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection: one point per place with the reading on the date (else the latest observed before it, never a guess), or one point per event for event layers.
