How this service works
Current water level (W, cm) and discharge (Q, m3/s) for one German federal waterway gauge from PEGELONLINE (WSV), with the reading timestamp. Default station is KAUB (Middle Rhine, a key barge bottleneck). Barging capacity is not calculated; this is gauge data only.
Output
A JSON object containing the source URL, station details (name, river, km marker, lat/lon), the timestamp of the check, water level reading (value in cm, unit, measured-at timestamp), and discharge reading (value in m³/s, unit, measured-at timestamp).
Example use cases
Barge capacity alert for Rhine logistics
“Can you check the current water level at KAUB on the Rhine? Our barges have a minimum draft requirement and I need to know if the level is above 78 cm before we dispatch.”
Rhine bottleneck monitoring for commodity traders
“Pull the latest Rhine water level and discharge at KAUB — I want to know if conditions are tightening for coal and fuel barge shipments through the Middle Rhine bottleneck.”
Multi-station Rhine gauge comparison
“Get me the current water levels at both EMMERICH and COLOGNE on the Rhine so I can see how conditions differ between the lower and middle sections of the river.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/logistics/rhine-river-water-levels?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time hydrological gauge data for a specific Rhine station to support logistics decisions, freight planning, or commodity flow monitoring. It directly sources from the authoritative German federal waterway operator (WSV/PEGELONLINE) and returns structured, timestamped readings. Prefer it over manual PEGELONLINE lookups when integrating Rhine water level data into automated agent workflows or dashboards.
Side effects
- Unknown or misspelled station name returns an error — use official PEGELONLINE short names like KAUB, EMMERICH, COLOGNE
- PEGELONLINE upstream API downtime may cause stale or missing readings
- Some stations may lack discharge (Q) data even if water level is available
- Network timeout from Cloudflare Worker if PEGELONLINE is slow to respond
