Station XML Web Services
The station web service returns seismic station metadata in XML format which conforms to the CISN StationXML schema.
The metadata returned can be a three different levels of detail.

Other options
The following options are available:
- Star wild card: Only supported for net[work],sta[ation],chan[nel],loc[ation]. Examples:
/ws/station/query?net=CI&sta=A*
/ws/station/query?net=C*&sta=*A*
/ws/station/query?net=CI&sta=P*D*
/ws/station/query?net=CI&sta=ADO&chan=BH*&level=chan - Comma separated list is now supported in search criteria, valid for net[work],sta[ation],chan[nel],loc[ation].
Examples:
/ws/station/query?net=CI,BK
/ws/station/query?net=CI,BK&sta=C*,V* - [lat,lon,maxradius [minradius]]="degrees", stations can be filtered now based on radius location.
Example:
/ws/station/query?lat=37.43&lon=-121.25&minradius=0.0&maxradius=30.0 :minradius is optional, it defaults to 0.0 - updatedAfter: This parameter is used if you are only interested in data that has been updated after a specific date, this eliminate the needs to download the full set of data and instead allow the user to retrieve a smaller set of modified data if any.
| Query: /ws/station/query?[query-parameters] | |
| where query-parameters: | |
| Empty/No parameters | will return all stations - level defaults to sta |
| net="network" | Specify SEED network code, example net=IU |
| sta="station" | Specify SEED station code, example sta=ANMO |
| chan="channel" | Specify SEED channel code mask, example: chan=BH1 |
| loc="location" | Specify SEED location code mask, example: loc=00. substitute dash characters for white space, example: loc=-- |
| minlat="degrees" | Specify minimum latitude, northern boundary [-90 <= X <= 90] |
| maxlat="degrees" | Specify maximum latitude, southern boundary [-90 <= X <= 90] |
| minlon="degrees" | Specify minimum longitude, western boundary [-180 <= X <= 180] |
| maxlon="degrees" | Specify maximum longitude, eastern boundary [-180 <= X <= 180] |
| [lat,lon,maxradius [minradius]]="degrees" | Optional, geographic circular bounding area. All lat, lon, maxradius parameters must be given together. minradius parameter is optional and defaults to zero. Cannot be combined with minlat, maxlat, minlon, maxlon. |
| startbefore=YYYY-MM-DD | Specify stations starting before this date |
| startafter=YYYY-MM-DD | Specify stations starting after this date |
| endbefore=YYYY-MM-DD | Specify stations ending before this date |
| endafter=YYYY-MM-DD | Specify stations ending after this date |
| timewindow=YYYY-MM-DD,YYYY-MM-DD | Specify a time range that stations/channels must be operating within |
| updatedafter=YYYY-MM-DD | Query stations updated after a specific date |
| level=sta/chan/resp | Specify whether to include channel/response metadata or not |
