# NOAA CO-OPS station metadata (fused)

`GET /api/v1/environment/noaa-tides/station/{id}`

Return fused metadata for a single CO-OPS station: identity, tidal datums (MLLW, MSL, MHW, MHHW, NAVD88, and others when published) with reference epoch, instrumentation inventory (sensor IDs, elevation, reference datum, status), and a summary of the harmonic analysis (units and constituent count). One Sugra call fuses four upstream mdapi sub-resources. Attribution: NOAA CO-OPS Tides and Currents (api.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — 7-digit CO-OPS station identifier (e.g. `8518750` for The Battery, `9414290` for San Francisco).

## Response `200`

Fused per-station metadata bundle.

- EnvelopeNoaaTidesStationDetailPayload
  - `data` NoaaTidesStationDetailPayload, required — Fused single-station metadata: details + datums + sensors + harmonic preview.
    - `station` NoaaTidesStation, required — Single station record as returned by the catalog listing.
      - `id` string, nullable — 7-digit CO-OPS station identifier (e.g. `8518750`).
      - `name` string, nullable — Human-readable station name (e.g. `The Battery`).
      - `state` string, nullable — 2-letter US state or territory code.
      - `lat` number, nullable — Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84).
      - `lng` number, nullable — Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84).
      - `timezone` string, nullable — Station-local timezone abbreviation (e.g. `EST`, `HAST`).
      - `timezonecorr` integer, nullable — UTC offset of the station-local timezone in hours.
      - `tidal` boolean, nullable — True when the station is affected by ocean tides.
      - `greatlakes` boolean, nullable — True when the station is on the Great Lakes (uses IGLD, not MLLW).
      - `shefcode` string, nullable — National Weather Service SHEF code cross-reference.
      - `portscode` string, nullable — PORTS network short code (e.g. `ny`) when applicable.
      - `affiliations` string[], nullable — Program affiliations (e.g. `NWLON`, `NWLORTS`, `PORTS`).
      - `tideType` string, nullable — Tide type classification (`Semidiurnal`, `Diurnal`, `Mixed`, `Unknown`).
    - `datums_epoch` string, nullable — Tidal Datum Epoch used for the datum values (e.g. `1983-2001`).
    - `datums_units` string, nullable — Units for the datum values (`feet` or `meters`).
    - `datums_accepted` string, nullable — Date the current datum set was accepted.
    - `orthometric_datum` string, nullable — Orthometric datum used (e.g. `NAVD88`).
    - `datums` NoaaTidesDatum[], nullable — Tidal datums available at the station.
      - `name` string, nullable — Datum name abbreviation (`STND`, `MLLW`, `MSL`, `MHW`, `MHHW`, `NAVD88`, etc.).
      - `description` string, nullable — Human-readable datum description.
      - `value` number, nullable — Datum elevation above station datum, in the reported `units`.
    - `sensors_units` string, nullable — Units for sensor elevation values.
    - `sensors` NoaaTidesSensor[], nullable — Sensors installed at the station.
      - `sensorID` string, nullable — Upstream sensor identifier (e.g. `B1`, `D1`, `E1`, `F1`).
      - `name` string, nullable — Sensor description (e.g. `Backup WL`, `Water Temperature`, `Barometric Pressure`).
      - `status` integer, nullable — Sensor status code: `1` operational, `0` non-operational or flagged.
      - `elevation` number, nullable — Sensor elevation relative to its reference datum.
      - `refdatum` string, nullable — Reference datum for the sensor elevation (`MLLW`, `MSL`, `Site Elevation`).
      - `message` string, nullable — Operator message or QC note.
      - `dcp` integer, nullable — Data Collection Platform identifier.
    - `harmonic_units` string, nullable — Units for harmonic amplitudes (`feet` or `meters`).
    - `harmonic_count` integer, nullable — Number of harmonic constituents published for the station.
    - `attribution` string, required — Upstream attribution string.
  - `meta` SugraMeta, required — Metadata attached to every /api/v1/* response envelope.
    - `endpoint` string, required — Requested endpoint path.
    - `data_time` string, required — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of the source data, not of the request.
    - `response_time` string, required — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when this response was produced.
    - `provider` string, required — API name and version.
    - `source` string, nullable — Identifier of the primary upstream source used for this response.
    - `attribution` string, nullable — Human-readable attribution mandated by an upstream source (e.g. a securities regulator or self-regulatory organization). Present only on responses whose source requires the owner and source to be clearly identified. Do not remove or alter it when using the response.
    - `fallback_used` boolean, nullable — True when the primary source failed and a fallback produced the data.
    - `fallback_chain` string[], nullable — Ordered list of sources attempted, in the order they were tried.
    - `cached` boolean, nullable — True when this response was served from the internal cache.
    - `stale` boolean, nullable — True when the cached response was returned after the upstream rate-limited or errored. Clients can use this to detect degraded data.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header.
- `422` — Validation Error
- `429` — Daily rate limit exceeded. Check `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the next window.
- `503` — Upstream source is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay.
