cwms-cli
A collection of scripts to create, read, update, list, and delete data through CWMS Data API (CDA) and other commonly used API in the US Army Corps of Engineers water management. CWMS-CLI wraps these API in a friendly to use terminal based interface.
Install
pip install cwms-cli
Note: You may need to run python -m pip install cwms-cli if PIP is not in your path.
Update
python -m pip install --upgrade cwms-cli
Or as of version 0.3.0+
cwms-cli update
cwms-cli update displays the Python executable, environment, package metadata
location, and editable project location when applicable before asking for
confirmation. It runs pip through the same Python interpreter that is running
cwms-cli, avoiding accidental updates to a different Python installation or
virtual environment.
To install a specific version:
cwms-cli update --target-version 0.7.1 --yes
Command line implementation

cwms-cli --help
run from within python
from cwmscli.usgs.getusgs_cda import getusgs_cda
from cwmscli.usgs.getusgs_measurements_cda import getusgs_measurements_cda
from cwmscli.usgs.getUSGS_ratings_cda import getusgs_rating_cda
Development environment
The repository includes a Linux/Python 3.12 development container exercised by a dedicated CI job. Open the repository with the VS Code Dev Containers extension, or use the Dev Container CLI:
devcontainer up --workspace-folder .
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . poetry run pytest -q
The container installs project dependencies with Poetry and uses
/home/vscode/.venv, so it does not reuse a host operating system's .venv.
Poetry itself is kept in a separate /opt/poetry environment. The workspace
root is also added to PYTHONPATH, so the checked-out source and local test
modules are available throughout a Codespace without copying them into the
image. Use the container for changes involving time zones, paths, native
libraries, or other operating-system-dependent behavior. Standard Python 3.9
and Python 3.12 installations remain covered by the existing CI matrix.
