Tidal API - Premium

API change history

The ADMIRALTY Tidal API provides an authoritative source of tidal height predictions for Standard and Secondary tidal level stations.
Premium provides access to historical and the current plus 1 years’ worth of tidal events and interval predictions for a wide range of tidal height stations around the British Isles and Republic of Ireland (Eire). This includes The Isle of Man and The Channel Islands consisting of the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey.

Station

Get the Tidal Station for the provided Station ID. Returned format is a standard GeoJSON Feature. The tidal station number is used as the GeoJSON feature Id. The feature has a Point geometry. The following custom properties are returned:
• Id - The Tidal Station Number to be used in other API operations.
• Name - The Tidal Station Name.
• Country - The Country that provided the data for the Tidal Station.
• Continuous Heights Available - A boolean to indicate if continuous heights are available for the Tidal Station.
• Footnote - Footnote text.
