Global Forest Watch Dataset Record by Name with Licence and Citation (Global Nature Watch)

gfwdataapi/dataset

The catalogue record of one Global Forest Watch Data API dataset (World Resources Institute, now Global Nature Watch), looked up by its dataset name: title, source, licence, citation, overview, update frequency, coverage and version names. Metadata only; the data inside the dataset is not returned. Only a dataset whose own licence is an open Creative Commons licence (BY or BY-SA) is returned: one with no licence stated or a restricted one is refused as a validation error, as is a name the service does not know. Names come from the dataset catalogue. Data of the Global Forest Watch Data API, passed through as published and served by Eden Engine; not an official Global Forest Watch product.
