About the VIEWS API

The VIEWS API is written in Python/FastAPI and as such conforms to the OpenAPI standard. The API currently returns JSON, with all data currently being row-based and row-indexed (an array of observations, where each observation is its own array; not an array of columns).

The VIEWS API is available in alpha testing mode at https://api.viewsforecasting.org.

For assistance in exploring the VIEWS data available via the API, please consult this wiki, visit the self-documenting and interactive query manipulation tool at https://api.viewsforecasting.org/docs, or use the Jupyter notebook in the tools folder.
