EFFIS data are freely available and accessible (please refer to the license https://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/about-effis/data-license).

Most of them are very easy to access through WMS servers:

 

You may find a list of the available layers/data on https://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/applications/data-and-services
clicking on the blue icon near each dataset name you will get a sample working url for the that dataset showing all the parameters.

 

Both servers are standard WMS so it is easy to use them with any application/library compliant to the standard;
the only parameter that need a little more attention is the TIME parameter that is needed for all the layers but: Human Settlement Layer, Protected Areas Layer, CCI Landcover, Fuels

 

Here it is an example url

https://ies-ows.jrc.ec.europa.eu/effis?LAYERS=ecmwf007.fwi&FORMAT=image/tiff&TRANSPARENT=true&SINGLETILE=false&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-18.0,27.0,42.0,72.0&WIDTH=1600&HEIGHT=1200&TIME=2023-02-08

 

All the layers are queryable trough the standard WMS method to get metadata related to a selected location.
