Zonal Statistics

The Zonal Statistics endpoints are used to generate statistics for Climate Engine datasets over different geometries.
There are three groups of Zonal Statistics endpoints:
/zonal_stats/pixel_count - The pixel count endpoints produce statistics and time series statistics on the number of pixels in each drought category for polygons and custom assets.
/zonal_stats/values - The values endpoints computes temporal statistics which are reduced over specified geometric features.
/zonal_stats/value - The value endpoints return values for static datasets (no time dependence) over different specified geometries.
NOTES:
- The “value” endpoints are restricted to static datasets (such as EH and WRC).
- Additionally, the /zonal_stats/pixel_count/timeseries endpoints are restricted to one feature (i.e. one polygon, custom asset, or Climate Engine asset).

/zonal_stats/pixel_count/climate_engine_asset

Computes number of pixels in each drought category for the features of a Climate Engine feature collection asset.
For a list of available county assets use /metadata/county_names endpoint.
Returns: json
