Question
How do I get a list of stations in a text file?
I am wondering how I can get a list of all station names from all the networks with their latitude, longitude, elevation, etc, in a text file?
Answer
Fedcatalog Web Service
Get all stations in the “IU” network:
http://service.iris.edu/irisws/fedcatalog/1/query?net=IU&level=station&format=text&nodata=404
Get all the channel-level data in the “IU.ANMO” network:
http://service.iris.edu/irisws/fedcatalog/1/query?net=IU&sta=ANMO&level=channel&format=text&nodata=404
See the irisws-fedcatalog service for more information.
FDSN Station Web Service
The IRIS DMC has implemented the FDSN station service. This is a REST-ful web service that returns station metadata in either plain ASCII text or StationXML.
