Data dependencies

Web APIs

CLIMADA relies on open data available through web APIs such as those of the World Bank, Natural Earth, NASA and NOAA. You might execute the test climada_python-x.y.z/test_data_api.py to check that all the APIs used are active. If any is out of service (temporarily or permanently), the test will indicate which one.
