Example using curl://
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.
Example using Python Requests
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
r.json()
