Provider
US Geological Survey
Product
Modern continuous water-data API; discharge parameter 00060
Coverage
One supported USGS station per request
Resolution
Point station; native observation intervals
Temporal coverage
Provider-available observations; <=31-day requests
Access method
Modern OGC JSON API, cursor pagination, seven-day batches
Temporal support
Unknown at this general source level: timestamps, statistic, and native metadata are retained, but the loader does not claim one physical support interval for every series. See Temporal alignment.
What it provides
Observed discharge at an identified streamgage through time.
Available CubeDynamics nouns
Current QA/certification status
Bounded real acquisition and offline checks passed for retained samples. Broader scientific review and sustained-load testing remain open; endpoint availability is independent. QA profile: station_timeseries. Evidence and scope.
Serving revision / provenance information
Rolling values/status; stable key is series ID plus time. No production serving revision assigned. Raw response hashes, request parameters, and source-specific metadata are preserved; a live refresh never overwrites an existing snapshot.
Important limitations
10,000 observations; 40 requests / 16 MB bodies / 180 s. Preserve native units/statistic and provisional flags; missing values are not filled. Multiple series require explicit selection. No synthetic fallback.
