Organising tools that help to anticipate weather tendencies are increasingly fundamental for decision-making in the countryside. Intending to contribute to the improvement of digital solutions available in the market, this month Embrapa begins to offer easy access to a group of agrometeorological data useful for the production monitoring and the planning of agricultural operations. There are 17 variables related to weather forecasting for all the national territories, which can be customised and integrated into software and mobile apps used to help property management from seed to harvest. The data are generated by the Global Forecasting System (GFS), executed by the United States National Weather Service (NWS), and processed by Embrapa Digital Agriculture (Campinas, SP) to be consumed through an API (Application Programming Interface), a set of standards and programming languages that quickly and safely allows automated communication between different systems. The service is available on the AgroAPI Platform to public and private institutions, startups, cooperatives and technical assistance and rural extension organizations Besides temperature and rainfall, the set of data on ClimAPI includes indexes and rates related to evapotranspiration, humidity, cloud cover, speed and wind direction, with a foresight of up to 10 days. The information is updated every six hours and can be consulted based on the coordinates of latitude and longitude, covering an area starting from a range of 25 kilometres. According to the researcher Luciana Alvim Santos Romani, from Embrapa Digital Agriculture, one of the people responsible for the AgroAPI platform, there is a growing demand for customisable weather data to be used in technology and digital services offered for the agribusiness, especially data which can help in the emission of agroclimatic alerts, operations for the application of agrochemicals, and generation of productivity estimates. One of the developers of the new API, the analyst Silvio Evangelista points out potential applications focusing on crop and livestock activity. “ClimAPI can boost many solutions which involve planning and decision-making due to weather conditions. For example, tools used by farmers that guide crop management, irrigation, frost foresight of damages, planting windows and crops.” How to access Already available on the AgroAPI Platform, ClimAPI will be first presented by Embrapa during the Brazilian Congress of Precision Agriculture (ConBAP 2022), which takes place until August 11 in Campinas, SP. The access to the platform is virtual and the data is exchanged machine to machine, through an individual token. Adriano Franzoni Otavian, an analyst at Embrapa Digital Agriculture who also worked on the API creation, explains that the data provided by GFS are processed and organised in a database that can be consulted according to the latitude and longitude, the agroclimatic variable, and the date of interest. “The answers to those requisitions made through API, on the platform, are adequate to a standard format that can be easily incorporated in other systems, including mobile devices, such as smartphone apps”, he concludes. In the first month, the service use is free, up to a maximum of 1.000 data requests. After this period, it can be available through a commercial contract, with prices that can vary according to the volume of requests. About AgroAPI A pioneer in Brazil, the AgroAPI platform was developed by Embrapa Digital Agriculture to provide information and crop and livestock models through API, which can also be used by other institutions, startups and companies to create and improve software and mobile apps, saving costs and time. Besides ClimAPI, there are data available in the platform about cultivars and productivity, agricultural zonings, vegetative indexes, genomic data and soil classification. Among the clients, there are bank institutions, agricultural equipment industries and diverse startups, with solutions for rural loans, planning and production monitoring. The AgroAPI is being used for the improvement of solutions offered by Embrapa, such as the application Plantio Certo, which gives access to the information from Agricultural Climate Risk Zoning (Zarc) and has more than 21,000 active users.
