- Edge density: {chart_info['edge_density']:.3f} (higher = more complex chart)
- Estimated chart type: {chart_info['chart_type']}
- Value transitions detected: {len(value_changes)} points

**Limitations:**
- This is a basic computer vision analysis
- Real data extraction requires chart-specific algorithms
- Y-axis scaling and units need manual interpretation
- Time-series data points need sophisticated detection

**Recommendations:**
- For accurate data: Register at data.niwa.co.nz
- Use NIWA API with authentication
- Request raw CSV/JSON datasets

        ## 🎯 How to Get Real Numerical Snow Data
        
        ### Method 1: NIWA DataHub API (Most Reliable)
        
        **Step 1:** Register at https://data.niwa.co.nz/
        **Step 2:** Get your credentials and use this app's API testing tab
        **Step 3:** Use the correct API endpoint structure:
        
        ```
        https://data.niwa.co.nz/api/data/products/1/{feature_id}/{product_id}/{start_date}/{end_date}
        ```
        
        **Known Product IDs:**
        - Snow Water Equivalent: `43815863`
        - You'll need to discover other snow depth product IDs
        
        **Authentication:** HTTP Digest Auth with your NIWA username/password
        
        ### Method 2: Direct NIWA Contact
        
        Email NIWA data team with specific station requirements:
        - Real-time access to SIN network data  
        - Custom data extracts in CSV/JSON format
        - API credentials for commercial use
        
        ### Method 3: Chart Data Extraction (This App)
        
        Use computer vision to extract approximate values from chart images:
        - Useful for quick estimates
        - Limited accuracy compared to raw data
        - Good for proof-of-concept work
        
        ### What You Get with Real Data:
        - βœ… Hourly snow depth measurements (mm)
        - βœ… Snow water equivalent (kg/mΒ²) 
        - βœ… Temperature, wind, precipitation
        - βœ… Historical time series data
        - βœ… Quality-controlled research data
        - βœ… Real-time updates during snow season
        
        **Bottom Line:** Register at NIWA DataHub and use proper API authentication for real data!

# NIWA Snow Data: Real APIs + Chart Extraction

The ultimate solution for accessing New Zealand snow depth data through multiple approaches.

## 🎯 Key Features

**Real NIWA APIs:**
- Tests correct API endpoints from internal NIWA documentation
- HTTP Digest authentication support
- Snow Water Equivalent product ID: 43815863
- Real-time and historical data access

**Chart Data Extraction:**
- Computer vision analysis of snow depth charts
- Extracts approximate values from chart images
- Basic chart structure analysis
- Fallback when APIs require authentication

**Complete Station Coverage:**
- 5 major NIWA Snow & Ice Network stations
- Coordinates, elevations, and data periods
- Mahanga, Mueller Hut, Mt Potts, Upper Rakaia, Albert Burn

## πŸ”§ How It Works

1. **Real APIs**: Enter your NIWA DataHub credentials to test actual data endpoints
2. **Chart Analysis**: Computer vision extracts data from chart images
3. **Alternative APIs**: Tests other weather services for New Zealand coverage

Perfect for researchers, avalanche safety, and alpine planning!
