        Greetings, I am wondering if anyone is willing to share code with me that demonstrates how you might access MMW data from a single sensor and use it in other applications in quasi-realtime? More specifically, I have a student that would like to activate a strand of LEDs based on the water level of a gage that is a site on MMW. We would prefer to use Arduino or Mayfly technology, but we might be able to do something using Python.

        Thanks!

          @tahicksonstthomas-edu: @srgdamiano developed a way to query the Monitor My Watershed database for a specific parameter and specific time/date range. This is a huge improvement over using the Download button to retrieve your data, because you can limit the timeframe of data being retrieved and thus speed up the response. See Sara’s code here for R and python:

          As an example of implementation, the Spokane Riverkeeper is using this code to populate real-time data on their own website:
