NOAA Tides & Currents Scraper
Extract station metadata and live observations from the NOAA Tides & Currents service — water levels, predictions, currents, weather, and ~3,400 stations across US coastal waters, the Great Lakes, and territories.
What this Actor does
This scraper wraps two NOAA endpoints:
- Stations metadata API (
mdapi.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/webapi/stations.json) — discover stations by type (tidepredictions,waterlevels,currentpredictions,historicwaterlevels) and filter by state. - Datagetter observations API (
api.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/api/prod/datagetter) — pull live or recent readings (water level, predictions, currents, wind, air temperature, pressure) for any station ID.
No API key, no auth, no proxies.
