Query the USDA NWCC Air and Water Database REST API

v0.1.3 · Aug 23, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Query the four endpoints of the 'Air and Water Database (AWDB) REST API' maintained by the National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Endpoints include data, forecast, reference-data, and metadata. The package is extremely light weight, with 'Rust' via 'extendr' doing most of the heavy lifting to deserialize and flatten deeply nested 'JSON' responses. The AWDB can be found at <https://wcc.sc.egov.usda.gov/awdbRestApi/swagger-ui/index.html>.
