Available through this interface is a set of APIs, along with 
examples of how end-users can write client-programs to access 
CO-OPS Web Services. Any updates, as well as suggestions and 
comments regarding additional features and services the end-users 
would like to have will be communicated through this web interface.

A set of Web Services to provide CO-OPS data in new format and 
through new transport medium is now available. These Web Services 
include water level, meteorological and ancillary data. In 
addition, current or water velocity, tide predictions and active 
stations are also available. The list of these Web Services will 
continue to grow as we move forward and as CO-OPS and the users' 
community see necessary.";

Using tabledap to Request Data And Graphs from Tabular Datasets

tabledap lets you request tabular data (for example, buoy data) and graphs of tabular data, via specially formed URLs.
The URLs specify everything: the dataset, the desired file type for the response, and the subset of data that you want to receive.
You can form these URLs by hand or with a computer program,
or (much easier) you can use the dataset's "Data Access Form" (oriented to requests for data)
or the dataset's "Make A Graph" form (oriented to requests for graphs and maps),
both of which generate the URL when the form is submitted.
tabledap is a superset of the OPeNDAP DAP constraint protocol.

tabledap request URLs must be in the form
   http://cwcgom.aoml.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/ datasetID fileType {?query}
For example,
   http://cwcgom.aoml.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTao.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,sea_surface_temperature&longitude>180&longitude<180.2&latitude>0&latitude<0.2&time>2007-06-01

For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
