USGS Streamflow Monitor
Monitor public USGS streamflow observations for selected stations and recent time windows. Results keep source properties and mark measurements provisional.
Try this first
{"sites":["01646500"],"parameterCodes":["00060"],"hoursBack":24,"maxResults":10}
Bounded station count, parameter codes, time range, retries, and deduplication. Official OGC API only.
Store: https://apify.com/koalastuff/usgs-streamflow-monitor
Configuration
Supply one to five eight-digit station IDs and one to three five-digit parameter codes. The supported lookback is 1–168 hours, with at most 500 returned observations. Parameter 00060 selects discharge.
| Input | Meaning |
|---|---|
sites | One to five eight-digit USGS station identifiers. |
parameterCodes | One to three five-digit USGS parameter codes. |
hoursBack | Recent time window from 1 to 168 hours. |
maxResults | Hard output limit from 1 to 500. |
Output and export
Open the run dataset to inspect the results, then export JSON or CSV. Each row contains the following fields; nullable values indicate unavailable source data.
| Field | Schema type |
|---|---|
id | string |
site | string |
properties | object |
geometry | object or null |
source | string |
provisional | boolean |
Pricing and limits
Standard pay-per-event pricing is USD 0.00005 per start at the configured memory plus USD 0.001 per dataset row. Ten rows cost USD 0.01005 in Actor charges. Check the Store pricing tab for your subscription tier. Set maxResults and Apify’s maximum charge before running; there is no schedule created by this Actor.
Empty results and troubleshooting
Source properties are preserved; inspect parameter, unit and observation time before comparisons. Measurements are provisional. An empty result can mean no observations in the selected window; it is not proof of zero flow.
For support, open the Actor’s Issues tab with the input filters, error code and run ID. Remove tokens and private information. Do not publish credentials or patient/contact data.
