19. Data products¶
Use the exact product identifier in API requests. The catalogue below covers 20 public product identifiers: 17 current and 3 legacy, reviewed on 8 October 2026. Products and fields match what the public API serves today; fields scheduled for removal are marked on their pages. The live options endpoint and interactive API show what the running service currently exposes; access also depends on your account permissions.

19.4 Coverage and product choice¶
A forecast horizon or year range is a catalogue label, not a guarantee that every run, date or point is populated. Query a small region first and inspect times, units and missing values. Station products and gridded products have different spatial support.
NextGen, Nigeria NextGen and WeatherNext 2 are retained. FOCUS/1F models are not retired by this catalogue cleanup; they are not listed as separate public /measurement/ identifiers in the reviewed catalogue. Use the access route supplied for your account rather than inventing a product identifier.
For old integrations, read product changes. The timetable and forecast archive guidance is under forecast availability.
