Sensors can produce multiple kinds of data records. For example, a WeatherLink Live with an Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) like a Vantage Pro2 Plus will produce both current condition as well as historic “archive” data records.
In this example the Vantage Pro2 Plus would be listed in an API weather observation data response as sensor data with sensor_type 45 but the sensor type does not say if the data is current conditions data or historic data. This is where the data_structure_type field will be of use. You can use the table below to determine what kind of data the sensor data record represents.
