One of the services WaterNSW provides is the monitoring of rivers, dams and groundwater across the state of New South Wales, Australia. This data is made available via their website, mobile apps as well as a web service.
The web service allows a user to request realtime and historical timeseries data for monitoring site via HTTP and have the data returned in JSON or CSV format.
This documetation aims to provide someone with some knowledge of requesting data via an HTTP API enough information to access the water monitoring data.
The two main parts of the documentation are:
- Getting started: make requests to the API and what can be expected in response.
- API reference: information on the possible API calls and examples of their use.
Both sections are works in progress.
