IBL SWIM Data Server

Welcome to IBL SWIM data server. This server provides demonstrations of IBL SWIM solution and various other data services built on top of IBL Open Weather platform which may find applications in SWIM initiative.

If you have any questions, suggestions, request for more data, please email us at swim@iblsoft.com

Data Subscription via AMQP

• Connect the AMQP client to swim.iblsoft.com:5672 (contact us to get testing credentials).
• Available topics to subscribe to: "amqp-delivery-queue-taf" , "amqp-delivery-queue-metar" , "amqp-delivery-queue-sigmet"

If you have IBL Moving Weather (or Visual Weather with MW Subsystem) you can test the subscription using a File Relay input channel (set Transfer type: AMQP. Use Payload Format: File body)

Data Access via OGC EDR

• Data access (OGC API EDR): https://swim.iblsoft.com/demo/edr
• API description: https://swim.iblsoft.com/demo/edr/api?f=HTML

IWXXM METAR

• METAR observations in IWXXM format
• The API returns METAR reports in the form of individual XML files packed in a Zip archive
• Stations can be filtered by spatial geometries (/radius, /area, /cube, /corridor queries) and by ICAO code of the station (/locations query)
• Temporal filtering also available via ‘datetime’ parameter
