API for Water Level and Flow in Canada

Intro

The API provide real-time water level and flow (discharge) data collected at over 1900 hydrometric stations across Canada and historical water level and flow (discharge) data collected at over 7700 hydrometric stations across Canada covering rivers and lakes.

All data are sourced from the government of Canada website

Authentification key

In order to prevent abuse, Scrapi API requires a private API key for all requests. We allow one API key by email which gives a quota of 200 requests/day. The API key is passed as a "key" parameter in each request.
