CWMSpy

CWMS REST API for Data Retrieval

Requirements.

Python 3.9+

Installation & Usage

pip install

pip install cwms-python

Then import the package:

import cwms

Authentication

cwms.init_session() supports both CDA API keys and Keycloak access tokens. Use api_key= for the headless CDA API key flow, or token= for an OIDC access token such as one saved by cwms-cli login.

import cwms

cwms.init_session(
    api_root="https://cwms-data.usace.army.mil/cwms-data/",
    token="ACCESS_TOKEN",
)

If both token and api_key are provided, cwms-python will use the token and log a warning.

Getting Started

import cwms
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

end = datetime.now()
begin = end - timedelta(days = 10)
data = cwms.get_timeseries(ts_id='Some.Fully.Qualified.Ts.Id',office_id='OFFICE1' , begin = begin, end = end)

#a cwms data object will be provided this object containes both the JSON as well
#as the values converted into a dataframe

#display the dataframe

df = data.df
print(df)
