Summary
This guide describes the open-source data services provided by the Stockholm Environment Institute for use in energy and environment models, detailing the REST web services and JSON format used to access datasets such as UN Population Prospects, World Development Indicators, IDEES, and IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways.
Key insights
- The Stockholm Environment Institute provides open-source data for energy and environment models via REST web services, primarily delivering data in JSON format, with an optional 'Pretty' parameter for human-readable output.
- The data server supports several specific queries to retrieve information: 'DataSets' and 'List' for available sets, 'Info' for dataset dimensions, 'Countries' for ISO3 codes and names, and 'Data' for specific time series or indicators.
- The system provides access to diverse datasets, including U.N. Population Prospects, World Development Indicators (e.g., fossil CO2 emissions from transport), IDEES (e.g., passenger road transport), and the IPCC's Shared Socioeconomic Pathway database for GDP projections.
