Description
I was using streamstats to get different basin characteristics in watersheds in GA. If I understand correctly, there is a function within the package that determines the state the lat/long coordinate is in so it can make an API call with that rcode. However, I think that the rcode technically coincides with the streamgrid that the lat/long coordinate is near.
See the stream grids here: https://streamstatsags.cr.usgs.gov/StreamGrids/directoryBrowsing.asp
What I Did
There was a particular lat/long coordinate that falls within Florida, but the streamgrid for Georgia actually extends down into this area of Florida.
To confirm this I tried running the coordinates through the StreamStats Service Documentation (https://streamstats.usgs.gov/docs/streamstatsservices/#/).
I tried both of the following REST Query URLs:
https://streamstats.usgs.gov/streamstatsservices/watershed.geojson?rcode=FL&xlocation=-82.12233534&ylocation=30.26887137&crs=4326&includeparameters=false&includeflowtypes=false&includefeatures=true&simplify=true
and:
https://streamstats.usgs.gov/streamstatsservices/watershed.geojson?rcode=GA&xlocation=-82.12233534&ylocation=30.26887137&crs=4326&includeparameters=false&includeflowtypes=false&includefeatures=true&simplify=true
I found that the GA rcode garners a response but the FL one gives an error. In my mind I think one solution would be downloading all the stream grids for each state and then creating a polygon for each of those based on the extents. Those polygons would essentially be the states you would want those lat/long coordinates fall into and determine the rcode based off of.
As a test I ran the following code:
lat, lon = 30.43632736, -82.28711271
ws = streamstats.Watershed(lat=lat, lon=lon)
print(ws)
I got the following error:
RetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='streamstats.usgs.gov', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /streamstatsservices/watershed.geojson?rcode=FL&xlocation=-82.28711271&ylocation=30.43632736&crs=4326&includeparameters=True&includeflowtypes=False&includefeatures=True&simplify=False (Caused by ResponseError('too many 500 error responses'))
Please disregard or correct me if I am incorrect!
