Geomag API

Geomag API

Access magnetic declination, inclination, total field intensity, from the WMM2020 valid for years 2020.0 - 2025.0

API description

The World Magnetic Model calculates the intensity and direction of the Earth's magnetic field on a specific date-time, geodetic altitude, latitude, and longitude. It is relied upon throughout the world for navigation, mineral exploration, atmospheric and space science, and is installed on billions of devices.

A comprehensive description of the World Magnetic Model, including its limitations, can be found here.

We provide a RESTful API to access the out-of-cycle World Magnetic Model (WMM2015v2) valid for years 2015.0 - 2020.0 and WMM2020 valid for years 2020.0 - 2025.0

Potential applications:

* Navigation and Orientation: Used by navigation systems, compasses, and gyroscopes to accurately determine magnetic north for orientation and navigation purposes.
* Geophysical Exploration: Utilized in mineral and oil exploration, aiding in identifying subsurface anomalies and geological features based on magnetic variations.
* Satellite Operations: Used in satellite attitude control systems, helping satellites maintain proper orientation relative to Earth's magnetic field.
* Education and Outreach: Used in educational settings to teach about Earth's magnetic field and its significance in various scientific and practical contexts.
* Scientific Research: Utilized in various scientific disciplines such as geophysics, atmospheric science, and space physics to study Earth's magnetic field dynamics and its interactions with other Earth systems.

A Geomagnetic Declination API has diverse applications: Navigation Apps: Ensure accurate compass readings for precise directions. Outdoor Recreation: Aid hikers and campers in remote areas with reliable compass data. Surveying and Geolocation: Support precise mapping and location-based services. Drone Navigation: Improve drone accuracy by compensating for magnetic declination.

A Web API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other over the internet. It defines the methods and data formats that applications can use to request and exchange information. Web APIs enable the integration of different services and systems, allowing them to work together seamlessly.

The Earth's magnetic field, generated by currents in the molten outer core, is influenced by local variations in the mantle and crust. Above the surface, magnetospheric and ionospheric fluctuations, affected by the solar wind, play a significant role.

The World Magnetic Model (WMM) is scientific software that calculates magnetic declination, inclination, and intensity at a particular time and position. It is based on data measured by dedicated satellites as part of the SWARM mission and by the ground based observatories of the INTERMAGNET network. It is relied upon throughout the world for navigation, mineral exploration, atmospheric and space science, and is installed on billions of devices in some form.

Accessing the model programmatically from modern software can be difficult and time consuming. Our API provides geomagnetic declination and other properties for a given date and location using a standard interface. Integration is achieved in minutes.

Zyla API Hub is, in other words, an API MarketPlace. An all-in-one solution for your developing needs. You will be accessing our extended list of APIs with only your user. Also, you won't need to worry about storing API keys, only one API key for all our products is needed.

Prices are listed in USD. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the worldโ€™s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble with paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Sometimes depending on the bank's fraud protection settings, a bank will decline the validation charge we make when we attempt to be sure a card is valid. We recommend first contacting your bank to see if they are blocking our charges. If more help is needed, please contact [email protected] and our team will investigate further

Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected โ€” plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a planโ€™s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.

Yes, absolutely. If you want to cancel your plan, simply go to your account and cancel on the Billing page. Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations are immediate.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 9 am to 6 pm (GMT+1). If you reach us after that time, we will be in contact when we are back. Also you can contact us via email to [email protected]
