Jun 1, 2025During 2025-06, Riverscapes/riverscapes-tools delivered key data-access enhancements focusing on TNM integration and increased test coverage for the National Map API. The TNM API client now supports pagination, fetching results in pages, and aggregating them with robust error handling for API responses and JSON decoding, reducing the risk of partial data retrieval and preparing the client for large datasets. In parallel, test scaffolding for the National Map API was added, including a placeholder test and a real API test to verify TNM.get_items against the live endpoint, asserting item structure and total counts. No major bugs were recorded in this dataset. Impact includes improved data reliability, scalability, and confidence in API integration, delivering business value through faster, safer data access and CI-ready validation. Technologies demonstrated include pagination patterns, API error handling, JSON decoding safeguards, test scaffolding, and real API validation for CI readiness.
