Steps
Find wells with geophysical logs via GET https://dwr.state.co.us/Rest/GET/api/v2/groundwater/geophysicallogs/wells?format=json, filtered by county/division/well identifier as needed.
Retrieve the interpreted log picks (readings at depth) for a well with api/v2/groundwater/geophysicallogs/geoplogpicks, filtered by the well ID from the wells call.
Use the fields query parameter to restrict the response to a comma-delimited allowlist of fields when you only need a subset, reducing payload size.
Apply min-/max- range filters if the geoplogpicks endpoint's fields include a depth range, to avoid pulling an entire log when only a specific interval is needed.
As with other CDSS endpoints, request an API key from the DWR web services portal if your usage will exceed the anonymous daily quota.
Known gotchas
"Geophysical logs" here means DWR's own logged wells tied to state permits, not USGS lithologic logs - don't conflate this with NGWMN or USGS lithology data.
Response defaults (JSON, pageSize 50,000) are shared with every other CDSS endpoint, so a query without explicit pageSize/pageIndex silently truncates at 50,000 rows rather than erroring.
