1. Help:

1.1. Data-feed Basic Help:

XML/JSON/CSV Help: The Example of XML link below shows the required parameters and the location parameters (coordinates or address). Likewise, we provide data-feeds in CSV and Geo-JSON. You may add additional record selection parameters as follows:

The easy way: Go to an HTML link for a dataset, e.g. history_water_rtgauges-html; interactively modify your query by clicking on blue words and symbols and/or using the Criteria tab; then create the corresponding XML link by using the criteria encoded in the resulting link and add "&filetype=.xml".

The mid-easy way: Go to an HTML link for a dataset, e.g. history_water_rtgauges-html; uncollapse the "More Searchable Fields" tab at the bottom of the page; it will list all fields, with field definitions and most-frequent values; click on any field to see an example of a URL querying on that field; combine multiple field queries if needed; add "&filetype=.xml"

The non-interactive way: The first record of the XML output lists field IDs and definitions of all fields. You can add criteria in the form field_id=word to restrict the field to the given value (or words in a field containing several words). It is case insensitive. If the field is numeric or date, you can also use comparison operators greater-or-equal %3E= and less-or-equal %3C=. (For additional operators see the full GeoQuery Manual and FAQ and more HELP below.) To look for a keyword in any field rather than in a specific field, specify: anyfield=keyword.

9. Geoquery XML and JSON URL Interfaces to TerraFly Point Datasets:

GeoQuery (arquery) allows one to query a dataset and return an XML file of the results. Likewise, Geo-JSON and CSV formats are available.

Full manual to GeoQuery is: GeoQuery Manual. See also FAQ. A a general introduction to XML can be found HERE. The XML Geo-query output lists field IDs of all fields. You can add criteria in the form field_id=word to restrict the field to the given value (or words in a field containing several words). It is case insensitive. If the field is numeric or date, you can also use comparison operators greater-or-equal %3E= and less-or-equal %3C=. To look for a keyword in any field rather than in a specific field, specify: anyfield=keyword.

The template one should follow for writing an Arquery XML URL that will produce an XML file is as follows:

/cgi-bin/gnis.cgi?tfaction=arqueryDATASET_NAME&vid=nsfmod.edu&Lat=VALUE&Long=VALUE&FIELD_ID_1=VALUE.....&FIELD_ID_N=VALUE&filetype=.xml

Placing this URL in the address bar of your browser and retrieving it will produce an XML file containing all records in close proximity (550 meters) to the lat and lon coordinates specified that meet the restrictions imposed by the set of &FIELD_ID=VALUE pairs in the Arquery XML URL. Lat and lon are REQUIRED unless the location is specified via an address or zipcode or city.

EXAMPLE:

/cgi-bin/gnis.cgi?tfaction=arquerynv_autosvc&vid=nsfmod.edu&Lat=30.41&Long=-87.209&POI_ST_NUM%3E=300&POI_ST_NUM%3C=37000&POI_NAME=SHELL&anyfield=st&filetype=.xml
