Use GET /epw/json/<dataset_name> to retrieve the stats info of the data file (.epw) of a given dataset name. The contents of the stats is not the same as the .stat file.
A successful /epw/json/<dataset_name> transaction returns the stats of the given dataset. The datasets can be from either energyplus.net or climate.onebuilding.org. The dataset name is normally the name of the EPW file without the extension .epw.

Send the /epw/json/<dataset_name> command using curl:
curl https://api.ensims.com/jess_web/api/epw/json/ISL_AL_Hornafjordur.AP.040820_TMYx
On success, the stats of the EPW file will be returned in a JSON object. If the specified dataset is not found, an HTTP 404 Not Found error will be returned.
Make sure Requests is correctly installed in your Python environment, and run the following lines:
import requests
# Security is not required
r = requests.get('https://api.ensims.com/jess_web/api/epw/json/ISL_AL_Hornafjordur.AP.040820_TMYx')
# Show returned object
