Tide and water level readings from NOAA stations as flat rows — time, value, sigma and quality flags. Free public API, no key.
What you get
time, value, sigma, flags, quality.
Sample output
{ "time": "2026-10-18 02:00", "value": "1.234", "sigma": "0.012", "quality": "v" }
Limitations
date: "latest"returns ONE row — the most recent reading. Usetoday, or a range like20261001-20261007, for a series.valueis a string, as NOAA publishes it, and the unit depends on yourunitschoice (metricorenglish). It is not converted.qualityis NOAA's own flag (vverified,ppreliminary) — a preliminary reading can be revised later.- Tide predictions and observations are different products.
water_levelis measured;predictionsis astronomical and cannot see a storm surge. - US stations only.

Pay per result.
Fields
| Field | Type | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
time | string | Time this row refers to. |
value | number | The measured value for this row. Units are in the README and sometimes in a sibling field. |
sigma | string | Standard deviation of the height prediction, in the source's units. A measure of how uncertain the tide forecast is, not of the tide itself. |
flags | string | Quality or status flags the source sets on the observation, in its own coding. |
quality | string | Quality flag from the source. For a postcode this is 1 for a real one and lower for an approximate or terminated one. |
