Developer Docs

AGSIST publishes embeddable agricultural tools and open JSON market-data feeds for ag media, extension services, co-ops, and farm websites. Add a widget with one script, or consume the data feeds directly to build your own UI. Want a custom build or early access to a rolling-out widget? Reach out.

One script, one div. Every widget loads from a single file — https://agsist.com/embed.js. Add the script once, then drop a data-agsist-widget div wherever you want a tool. The script injects the live tool in an iframe, adds a crawlable “Powered by AGSIST” backlink in your page, and auto-resizes the frame. Prefer copy-paste? The embed gallery has ready snippets and live previews.

Embeddable Widgets

GDU Calculator Live

Auto-fetches growing degree units from a planting date and location, tracks corn & soybean stage, projects black layer, and flags first-frost risk. The most-used tool on AGSIST. The iframe gives your visitors the full live calculator; the injected anchor is the real backlink.

Crop Calendar Rolling out

Corn & soybean growth-stage reference with GDU thresholds and management notes. Wiring is in embed.js now; the embeddable view is rolling out. Email me if you want it on your site early.

Daily Briefing Rolling out

A compact card from the AGSIST Daily morning briefing — headline, date, and the day’s takeaway, with a link to the full read. Published before the market open on weekday mornings. The raw briefing is also available as a JSON feed below for custom rendering.

Live Data Feeds

These JSON endpoints update automatically. Consume them directly to build your own UI without using the widget script at all.
