What would you like to do with Nexus?

This documentation provides how-to guidance and reference information for the Nexus APIs and explains underlying principles of the data model. Depending on what you want to achieve you should follow one of the Getting Started guides.

Consume data

If you want to use data in your own online dashboards, map viewers or BI-tools, you will want to use the Nexus API. The API is plug-and-play and is perfect for lightweight data consumption. To discover how you can make API calls, go to the Data Consumer Guide.

Supply data

If you intend to (periodically) upload data to Nexus, then you are considered to be a Data Supplier. Have a look at the Data Supplier Guide. It guides you through the steps of uploading files periodically through a script or data warehouse application.

Integrate Nexus data

For integrating Nexus data into your own on-premise data warehouse, or for dashboard applications that don't support Web APIs, you can use the Expert API. You'll be able to configure database federation by using foreign data wrappers or use ODBC/JDBC connectors to query the Nexus Database. Have a look at Expert API Connection Guide.

Develop calculations

To work with the raw data in Nexus directly and run full-scale simulations in the cloud, you want full control and should use the Expert API. With this API you'll be able to execute SQL queries on Nexus Database, access raw rasters and files from Nexus Datastore and deploy calculations in the cloud. Get started with the Expert API Connection Guide and then read the Calculation Deployment Guide.
