How this service works
Latest instantaneous discharge and gauge height for a USGS river monitoring site, with the observation timestamp.
Output
Returns the most recent instantaneous discharge (in cubic feet per second), gauge height (in feet), and the UTC timestamp of the observation for the requested USGS monitoring site.
Example use cases
Flood risk monitoring for a creek
“Pull the current discharge and gauge height for USGS site 02087500 — I want to know if the river is near flood stage right now.”
Irrigation water availability check
“What's the latest streamflow reading at USGS station 09380000? I need to know how much water is flowing through so I can plan irrigation draws.”
Kayaking safety conditions check
“Can you check the current river gauge height and discharge at USGS site 03431500 before we head out kayaking this weekend?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/water/usgs-streamflowWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time streamflow and gauge height data from the USGS monitoring network, identified by a USGS site number. It is ideal for flood monitoring, water resource management, recreational safety checks, or any workflow that requires current river conditions in the United States. It wraps the USGS water data API as a simple paid microservice, making it easy to integrate without managing USGS API authentication or response parsing.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent USGS site number returns an error or empty result
- Site number with fewer than 8 or more than 15 digits is rejected by the schema
- Some USGS sites may not report discharge or gauge height — only one metric may be available
- Temporary USGS data feed outages may result in stale or missing data
- Network timeout if USGS upstream service is slow
