Background to EFAS SOS
...
EFAS SOS is a web API for retrieving EFAS forecasts as data. The API returns an xml file. Example api requests can be found on the SOS services's web page. Note that in order to download recent forecasts, EFAS SOS credentials are required. These can be requested from the EFAS project.
Within EFAS version 4.0, four streamflow forecast products are produced. These are listed in below table which includes various characteristics that are relevant for the configuration of the present Delft-FEWS import.
