French River Levels & Flow — Live Hydrometry (Hub'Eau) — Free

Get real-time river water levels and flow for any French commune (hauteur et débit des cours d'eau en temps réel). This free actor queries the official French Hub'Eau hydrometry API (the same real-time network behind Vigicrues flood monitoring): it finds every hydrometric station in the communes you specify and returns each station's latest observed water level (meters) and flow (liters/second).

This actor is free — you only pay your own Apify platform usage.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
communeCodesarrayINSEE commune codes (5 chars, e.g. 75056 = Paris). Required.
includeFlowbooleanAlso fetch latest flow (Q) per station. Default true.

Output

One dataset item per station:

{
"status": "found",
"communeCode": "75056",
"stationCode": "F700000103",
"stationLabel": "La Seine à Paris [Austerlitz]",
"inService": true,
"waterLevelMeters": 1.85,
"waterLevelDate": "2026-07-09T08:20:00Z",
"flowLitersPerSecond": 250000,
"flowDate": "2026-07-09T08:20:00Z"
}

status is found, not_found (no stations in this commune) or error. Invalid inputs never crash the run.

Use cases

  • Flood monitoring and early-warning dashboards for a town or watershed.
  • Kayak / fishing / river-navigation conditions checks.
  • Hydrology research and historical baselines (pair with scheduled runs).
  • Enrich insurance or real-estate risk models with live water levels.

Limitations & fair use

  • Data source: Hub'Eau — Hydrométrie, French open data (Licence Ouverte / Open Licence Etalab), real-time ("TR") observations.
  • Only communes that host a hydrometric station return live data (not_found otherwise).
  • Polite delays are applied between calls; keep input lists reasonable.
