This will show you a list of all the heat stress forecast GeoJSON files, including their names, descriptions, and download links.

Step 2: Download a Specific File

Once you have identified the file you want to download, you can use the following format to download the file directly:

https://heatstress.ars.usda.gov/api/public/geojson/download/{fileName}

Replace {fileName} with the exact name of the file you wish to download. For example, if you want to download heatstress_20240115_120000.geojson, the link would look like this:

https://heatstress.ars.usda.gov/api/public/geojson/download/heatstress_20240115_120000.geojson

Alternative Download Method (Using curl)

If you're comfortable with using the command line, you can also download files using curl.

Open your command prompt or terminal and type:

curl “https://heatstress.ars.usda.gov/api/public/geojson/download/{fileName}” -o {outputFilename}

Replace {fileName} with the exact name of the file you wish to download and {outputFilename} with the name you want to save it as. For example, if you want to download heatstress_20240115_120000.geojson and save it as heatstress_forecast.geojson, the curl command would look like this:

curl "https://heatstress.ars.usda.gov/api/public/geojson/download/heatstress_20240115_120000.geojson" -o heatstress_forecast.geojson
