Abstract
This resource allows users to obtain the location and metadata of USGS cameras from the Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System (HIVIS). It provides a Python notebook for accessing and processing data, including the retrieval of camera locations and related information directly from the USGS API. Users can filter data based on specific attributes, generate URLs for individual camera stations, and save the filtered data locally. Additionally, the resource includes functionality to clip camera data using a shapefile of a selected area, allowing for targeted analysis. The Python notebook uses common libraries such as pandas and geopandas, making it accessible to those familiar with basic data manipulation and geographical data handling.
