#DataRetrieval
Do you use the #rstats package dataRetrieval? We are looking for users to join us for usability testing. Your input will help shape the future of the package as we update functionality to serve USGS water data from new APIs. Interested? Email comptools@usgs.gov

Two and a half exciting updates to my hydroinformatics book (or: data science and hydrology?)

1. The materials all use the updated USGS dataRetrieval package now, yay!

There’s no replacement in dataRetrieval. It’s supposed to by in hyswap is my understanding, but that’s python. For now, the old dataRetrieval function still works. But this is impacting my classes and homework assignments.

Added a new service to the "develop" branch of the #rstats dataRetrieval package to access USGS water quality discrete data. Read about it here:

The #rstats package dataRetrieval was recently updated on CRAN. Highlights include:
* Switch from httr to httr2
* Messages show requested URL each time a web service call is made
* NEW FUNCTION! read_USGS_samples. Get USGS discrete water quality data: doi-usgs.github.io/dataRetrieva...

use for irrigation in Wyoming, and transmission losses. Note the spike at the end of the growing season there, I'm guessing because water to irrigation ditches is cut off then. Data for this figure accessed with soilDB (SNOTEL data) and dataRetrieval (USGS stream gage data) R packages.

The lack of seamless export for query results undermines the true potential of retrieval in personal knowledge management. It’s like having a powerful search engine for your thoughts, but no effortless way to utilize or share the insights beyond the system. #pkm #tft #dataretrieval #markdown

hyswap can be applied to different data sources but integrates particularly easily with USGS streamflow data by leveraging the python "dataretrieval" package that provides simple functions to retrieve USGS streamflow data. github.com/DOI-USGS/dat...

I knew I'd find someone on bsky doing the things I'm interested in! I was just trying to use dataRetrieval to visualize the levels of Spruce Run Reservoir (NJ) but hit a snag finding more data about the reservoir itself. Your posts will help me figure out what tags I can use when I ask my questions!
