Farmonaut Satellite & Weather API
Developer Docs

Developing your own custom agricultural remote sensing solutions is super easy with Farmonaut® API. Simply make a few API requests and our systems will automatically generate all the satellite data (NDVI, NDWI, EVI, VARI, SOC, TCI, ETCI, NDMI, Evapotranspiration, DEM, RADAR and HYBRID) as well as the weather data for all the fields submitted by your organization.

Colormaps

A colormap is a visual representation of the visual intensity of the selected index at a location on the field. For example, if at a particular location on the field, the displayed index value is extremely low, then in that case, that particular location point is displayed as red using colormap 1, whereas the same point is displayed as black in colormap 2. Similarly, if at a particular location on the displayed field, the displayed index value is extremely high, then in that case, that particular location is displayed as green in both the colormaps.

Usage Details

  1. For every 15 weather API requests (current or forecast weather), 1 unit will be consumed.
  2. For every JEEVN AI (personalized farm advisory) API request, 2 units will be consumed.
  3. For every satellite observation on 1 acre of farmland, 1 unit will be consumed.
  4. For every 200 API Hits, 1 unit will be consumed.
  5. For every 1 Mb of Data fetched through any API, 1 unit will be consumed

JEEVN AI: Personalized Farm Advisory

Example:

If you have 100 acres of farmland divided between 10 farms and want to monitor them for 12 months, here's how the API unit consumption breaks down:

1. Satellite Observations:
* Each acre requires 6 units per month (due to 6 satellite observations with a 5-day frequency).
* For 100 acres over 12 months, that totals, 100 Acres * 6 units/month * 12 months = 7200 API units.

2. API Hits:
* An average user typically makes about 100 API calls per month each farm
* For 10 farms, this totals 10*100 = 1000 API calls per month.
* Over 12 months, that's 12000 API calls, consuming 60 API units (200 Calls = 1 Api unit).

3. Data Usage:
* On an average Each farm uses about 2 MB of data per month.
* For 10 farms, that totals 20 MB per month, or 240 MB over 12 months.
* This consumes 240 API units (1 Mb = 1 Api Unit).

4. Personalized Farm Advisory (JEEVN AI):
* Personalized farm advisory is generated after each satellite visit (6 in a month), requiring 12 units per month per farm (1 Report = 2 Units)
* For 10 farms over 12 months, this totals 1440 API units.

Total Units Consumed:
*Satellite Observations: 7200 units
* API Hits: 60 units
* Data Usage: 240 units
* Personalized Farm Advisory: 1440 units
Total: 8940 API units / Year / 100 Acre

Total Cost
* 100 API units = 3USD (current pricing as of 16 Aug 2024)
* Per Acre cost for whole year = 8940 units / Year / 100 Acre = 89.40 Units/Acre / Year = 89.40/100 * 3 = 2.69 USD / Acre / Year or 0.23 USD/Acre/month
* Per Hectare cost for the whole year = 6.63 USD/ hectare/ Year or 0.56 USD/Hectare/month

API Documentation

API Structure

All API endpoints follows the same structure of request and response.

API request structure:

  • The request need to be a POST request.
  • The body should be JSON encoded object.
  • Headers may need to include ‘Content-Type’ and ‘Accept’ keys with value ‘application/json’.
  • The response would be JSON encoded object or a String, as specified in the endpoint doc.
* API testing can be done at Postman 🔗

It adds a new farm to your account with provided coordinates and enables it for getting satellite data (caution: it doesn't stop you from adding duplicate farms). Once you submit the request it generally takes less than 5 mins for the first results to be generated. Once these results are generated they can be accessed instantaneously at any point of time.
