hydrodownloadR: Hydrologic Station Catalogs and Time Series from Public APIs
Provides a unified, extensible interface to discover
hydrologic stations and download daily time series (e.g., water
discharge, water level, water temperature, and several other water
quality parameter) from national and regional public APIs. Includes a
provider registry, S3 generics 'stations' and 'timeseries', licensing
metadata, date-range and 'complete history' modes, rate limiting and
retries, optional authentication via environment variables, tidy
outputs, UTF-8 to ASCII transliteration, and WGS84 coordinates.
Designed for reproducible workflows and straightforward addition of
new providers.
Background and use cases are described in Farber et al. (2025)
<doi:10.5194/essd-17-4613-2025> and Farber et al. (2023)
