Dataset description

IFI’s National Barriers Programme (NBP) developed a field survey to capture information on barrier location, type and associated images and structure dimensions. This form was used as a Level I assessment measure to find and locate barriers. The NBP has delivered a geo-referenced database fully integrated with EPA-WFD coding and instream structures can then be assessed by EPA sub-Catchment or waterbody codes. This is the framework with structures assessed during on-site visits are now populating.<div><table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' style='width:495.9pt; border-collapse:collapse; border:none;' width='661'> <tbody><tr> <td style='width:99.0pt;

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
