This endpoint will allow you to query for weather events (from any of the data layers in your current plan) by specifying:
location
- GeoJSON of a Point, LineString, or Polygon up to 10 Million square KM (limited to Severe Weather Events).triggers
- pre-defined categories like "fires" or custom Insight rulesbuffer
- KM around location, such that the response includes all values on observations or predictions.
Note that an Insight triggers can only be coupled with a Location that is currently monitored by an Alert.
