API proposal review (2)

Different discussions raised during the API review:

Issue#6 Information in water zones: Operators and therefore API can only provide data of those zones where it is operating. Full water or hybrid scenarios to be covered.

Status parameter is used for handling both situations:

Gregory/Tim: Include all the cells in the partial case, since the impact of including the empty cell is not big enough to lose the developer will expect as a full response.

Jorge: Calculating the cells, with no real value to developer, is costly for the CSP.

Decision: Move on with the most supported option. Empty cell in partial responses will be provided.

Issue #6 to be closed

 

Issue#7 Open discussion on default and limit values for the API characteristics:

  • Default value on level 7 (150m x 150m) (TBC). Open Discussion, please provide feedback

Include input parameter where developer can chose among a list of levels. Also, to align on other global grid options in the future.
