- For accurate data: Register at data.niwa.co.nz

## 🎯 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!
