Introduction

Pure Farming data APIs are designed to deliver data for a range of different agricultural resources, which are standardised to a common schema regardless of the original data sources that provided the data.

The Data API is based on the REST standard, where URLs represent collections of data, and actions on the data are performed using HTTP verbs (Such as GET for retrieving data and POST for creating data). Any programming language capable of performing HTTPs requests can be used. Data returned from API uses the JSON standard.

API Reference

You can find the API reference for the Data API at https://developer.purefarming.com/resource-types/api-specification/

Authentication

Most endpoints for the Data API require you to be authenticated. Find out more in the Authentication Section

      Although it is smaller than the holdings but is a quite substantial piece of land.

  • Crops
    Resource types available for Crops.

    • Sample Plans
      Sample Plans provides information about a planned sampling activity for a crop at a geospatial feature (paddock, field, or block) level.
