Sources & data

Open about what sits underneath.

Sustineer keeps source, retrieval time, scope, freshness, unit, licence, and limitation attached to data experiences wherever possible.

No mystery metrics.
No personal score.

Editorial imagery

OpenAI image generation

Open source

Locally stored WebP illustrations and scenes generated for Sustineer’s page contexts; not third-party stock photography.

Weather & growing conditions

Open-Meteo

Open source

Open weather and forecast data used for location-aware conditions.

Air quality

Public air-quality observations from monitoring stations. API access is server-side when configured.

Solar potential

European Commission photovoltaic estimates. Results are modelled estimates, not a site survey.

Global context

Our World in Data

Open source

Curated public research and indicator datasets with upstream citations.

Energy transition

Open electricity data for renewable generation and the power transition.

Food & farming

Official food and agriculture statistics; annual data belongs in cached or periodic ingestion flows.

Soil maps

ISRIC SoilGrids

Open source

Global gridded soil information. Resolution and uncertainty are shown rather than compressed into a single health score.

Biodiversity

Public species occurrence records; observation density is not the same as abundance.

Citizen science

iNaturalist

Open source

Public observations and project discovery with careful attribution for community media.

Places & maps

OpenStreetMap / Overpass

Open source

Community-maintained place data. Queries are bounded and cached; OpenStreetMap attribution is required.

Basemap

OpenFreeMap

Open source

Initial MapLibre basemap with OpenStreetMap/OpenMapTiles attribution.

Food products

Open Food Facts

Open source

Crowdsourced product and packaging information, shown as available rather than complete.

Routes

openrouteservice

Open source

Optional route and elevation service, disabled until a server-side key is configured.

Community projects

GlobalGiving

Open source

External environmental and community projects; Sustineer links to the original project pages.

How to read the site

Measured, modelled, forecast, historical, or crowdsourced?

Those words matter. Sustineer uses live APIs for selected weather, air, places, solar estimates, and observations; slow-changing datasets are linked or prepared for periodic ingestion rather than called on every page view. If a source is unavailable, the interface says so.
