FAQ

Questions NOAA Tides & Currents owners ask.

  • 01

    Is an API Key required for NOAA Tides API?

    No. The NOAA CO-OPS API is a free and open service provided by the United States government. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.

  • 02

    Can the agent show air temperature at stations?

    Yes. Use the get_air_temperature capability providing a station ID. Your agent will return real-time temperature metadata alongside the timestamp.

  • 03

    What data datum is used for predictions?

    This server uses the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) datum for all water level and tide prediction requests to maintain consistency with nautical charts.
