Structure and Usage of the USGS API

The Python wrapper to this API is young, so these docs are colored with a large dose of code to help you understand the approach we used when developing the wrapper. This wrapper provides results by composing a URL to USGS’ NWIS JSON API and translating the results into native python objects as a list of dictionaries (from simplejson/json) or into a pandas object.
