I'm using the httr package to scrape the DBHYDRO browser using the API outlined in the URL-BASED DATA ACCESS section (3.0) in the DBHYDRO User's Guide.

Do you feel like there would be value in having proper endpoints so you don't have to scrape? In case the UI changes in the future?

I think there would be value. What kind of UI change do you think would break dbhydroR? The automated testing suite should catch big changes...

I'm not sure how you're extracting the data but if the html or css selectors change (traditionally in web scraping projects) then the library may break. I think having a proper and well constructed REST API may be the best solution for this library.

Closing pending any SFWMD API development
