USGS Water Data APIs are changing - Here's what you need to do!
Many in the CUAHSI community rely on USGS Water Services APIs for daily research workflows—pulling streamflow, water-quality, and site information into models, dashboards, and classrooms. USGS is now modernizing those services.
What’s changing?
The familiar Water Services endpoints are being replaced by a new, standards-based suite at https://api.waterdata.usgs.gov/. The updated APIs follow the OGC API – Features spec, making them more interoperable, script-friendly, and GIS-ready.
