Get metadata about Frost API elements.
Get metadata about the weather and climate elements that are defined for use in the Frost API. Use the query parameters to filter which elements to return and what fields to include for each element. Leave the query parameters blank to select all elements. Note: an empty list of sensor level values in the output means that the sensor level values may vary dynamically for this element. In this case it will not be possible to filter on specific sensor level values in the sensorLevels query parameter.

The descriptions to get metadata for as a comma-separated list of <a href=concepts2.html#searchfilter>search filters</a>.
The units to get metadata for as a comma-separated list of <a href=concepts2.html#searchfilter>search filters</a>. <b>Note:</b> when the unit is 'code', a codetable is in use.
The code tables to get metadata for as a comma-separated list of <a href=concepts2.html#searchfilter>search filters</a>. <b>Note:</b> When a codetable is in use, the unit is 'code'.
The statuses to get metadata for as a comma-separated list of <a href=concepts2.html#searchfilter>search filters</a>.
The <a href=concepts2.html#calculationmethod>calculation method</a> filter as a <a href=concepts2.html#jsonfilter>JSON filter</a> that supports the following keys: baseNames, methods, innerMethods, periods, innerPeriods, thresholds, methodDescriptions, innerMethodDescriptions, methodUnits, and innerMethodUnits
