That is correct, an API is available, and everyone is encouraged to use it. The main source learning resource for WIGOS, WIGOS Learning Portal (https://etrp.wmo.int/course/view.php?id=146). An example an introduction to the M-2-M is available there at: https://etrp.wmo.int/mod/resource/view.php?id=13753. There are also recordings and presentations of the OSCAR/Surface webinars (including a recently launched webclient tool) from here: https://etrp.wmo.int/course/view.php?id=146§ion=4. An important reference document is the OSCAR/Surface User's Manual, available at: https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=10883. I'd suggest you look in particular to sections 3.10 and 3.11 of the manual, where we can read: "The XML schema (WIGOS Metadata Representation (WMDR)) describes how the WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMDS), WMO-No. 1192), is represented in the XML file. The WMDR specifications are available online at https://schemas.wmo.int/wmdr." You can find additional information directly from OSCAR/Surface on the FAQs (https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/index.html#/faq/) and Links https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/index.html#/links sections.
