CLARISA information is available to the public through our web portal https://clarisa.cgiar.org. It is also available to the public via API. However, to connect using your own application (through API), the endpoint locations are as per the API documentation under the “Services” menu at the top of this page. API access requires a valid username/password combination which is available upon request. Requests are to be submitted via email to planningandreporting@cgiar.org.

The documentation on API access is tailored for both technical and non-technical users. It is divided into two main sections and is located under the “Services” menu at the top of this page.

Getting credentials to access the API is freely available upon request. Requests are to be submitted via email. In your request, kindly mention the lists you are interested in, why and how often you anticipate calling the APIs. The details requested are purely for resource planning.

No, CLARISA only works as using JSON/REST technology.

Each data set is updated at a different frequency as it becomes available. This ranges from as long as annually to some as often as daily.

This API is not open to the public for updating. However, this can be discussed based on the data you have and its implication on maintenance. Please get in touch with us on planningandreporting@cgiar.org for further discussion.

At the moment only updates of a critical nature may be alerted via email.
