DescribeFeatureType Request

The DescribeFeatureType-Request delivers an XML schema document that specifies what the XML response to a GetFeature request for a specific feature type may contain, e.g. station data this will include all the queryable parameters. For the feature type stations_mix-obs, this request takes the following form:

https://api.meteomatics.com/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=stations_mix-obs

If you wish to query data from weather models on the station locations (models listed here) and rely on the corresponding XML schema document, you'll need to include the parameters into the URL as done in the GetFeature request below. For example if you were to query the parameter total_cloud_cover:p which is not delivered by stations_mix-obs, you would include it into the URL as follows:

https://api.meteomatics.com/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=stations_mix-obs&PARAMETERS=total_cloud_cover:p

Please note that in this case the XML schema document will only contain the queried parameters.
