Welcome to documentation of our ground motion database!

This webpage describes the Application Programming Interface (API) that has been written to allow users to query data from our ground motion database. The ground motion database uses MySQL as the relational database management system. The API is an interface with the MySQL database that allows users to easily query data without requiring a deep knowledge of the database structure, or how to compose SQL queries.
