\usage{
whatNWISdata(siteNumbers, service = "all", parameterCd = "all",
statCd = "all")
}
\arguments{
\item{siteNumbers}{character USGS site number or multiple sites.}
\item{service}{character. Options are "all", or one or many of "dv"(daily values),
"uv","rt", or "iv"(unit values), "qw"(water-quality),"sv"(sites visits),"pk"(peak measurements),
"gw"(groundwater levels), "ad" (sites included in USGS Annual Water Data Reports External Link),
"aw" (sites monitored by the USGS Active Groundwater Level Network External Link), "id" (historical
instantaneous values)}
\item{parameterCd}{character vector of valid parameter codes to return. Defaults to "all" which will not perform a filter.}
\item{statCd}{character vector of all statistic codes to return. Defaults to "all" which will not perform a filter.}
}
\value{

\examples{
\dontrun{
availableData <- whatNWISdata('05114000')
# To find just unit value ('instantaneous') data:
uvData <- whatNWISdata('05114000',service="uv")
uvDataMulti <- whatNWISdata(c('05114000','09423350'),service=c("uv","dv"))
siteNumbers <- c("01491000","01645000")
