Data Dictionary
Data dictionary for Athenium weather datasets. Free, no credits. Two modes: 1. LIST (no variable_names): returns field packages, valid fields, supported intervals, and usage guidance for the selected dataset(s). Call before station_historical_data, station_climate_normals, or gridded_history_15km to choose the 'fields' parameter. If the user's intent does not map to a specific package, use fields='all' in the data call. 2. LOOKUP (variable_names given): returns the definition, units, and default flag for one or more exact API variable names. This mode is not a search — names must match exactly (e.g. 'surfaceTemperature').
