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.
