# Climate data with its evidence intact

> Query versioned climate data through one contract, directly from HTTP or an agent.

Verdant serves climate data with explicit units, spatial support, missingness, and source lineage. An agent describes the data it needs; the response includes the values and the evidence needed to interpret them.

The current API serves two published public demo datasets: SILO maximum air temperature around Mildura on **1 January 2003**, and CSIRO observed irrigation-program evidence from **2003–2005**. These have different meanings and are not interchangeable.

  <Step title="Resolve">Check a query against published data. Pin the returned immutable dataset version.</Step>
  <Step title="Query">Receive data directly as JSON or CSV, with provenance and checksums.</Step>

<Note>
  Public demo reads are free and need no API key. Acquisition, quotes, payments, and asynchronous delivery are not enabled yet. The capabilities endpoint is the authoritative feature inventory; valid syntax alone does not mean data is available.

The [OpenAPI 3.1 specification](https://api.verdant-ai.com/api/v1/openapi.json) and this reference are generated from the same shared runtime schemas. `/api/v1` defines the major contract version. Additive fields may appear; clients should ignore fields they do not recognize.
