• How flooding data is protected

Dublinked is the portal that hosts the flooding datasets and associated resources (csv files, links to API, etc). There is one public dataset as an entry point for the flooding project where users can find information about the project and how to access it. There are 5 flooding datasets

• DCC River Level
• DCC Weather
• DCC Rainfall
• PN Rainfall
• Dunraven River Level

The datasets are private and only Dublinked registered users - who belong to the flooding org - can access them.

The API is an alternative way to access flooding data, designed mainly for developers or 'huge data consumers'. The API is protected by an API key, this means that anybody can access the main API web page, but without the API key all queries will result in an 'unauthorized' error. To use the API key click in 'Authorize' button in the API header.

Dublinked credentials are used to access the datasets in Dublinked. The API works only if the API key is used in the query, else resulting in unauthorized access.
