What this does not say

Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.

  • Shares of the 500 m and 1 000 m circles around the address point by AR50 land-cover class (1:50 000, generalised from AR5 where it exists); a share is 0 when the class is absent and null when AR50 is not loaded.

Fields

10 of 11 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
