I am creating a map showing the movement of the tides at a specific site and therefore require the layers showing high low, incoming and outgoing tide to run in real time with tidal data. How do I go about doing this? I can make the layers run at arbitrary input times, they have date fields but how do I acquire and use real-time data? Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Regarding data, are you looking for something like this?
https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/all
Here's an example page - Aberdeen Tide Times | Tide Times with RSS feeds at the bottom of each page - https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/aberdeen-tide-times.rss
Here's a tutorial on using RSS feeds:

What would be really helpful is if you could find an all encompassing GeoRSS feed of tidal data, something like Recent UK earthquakes but for tidal data. I wasn't able find anything like this briefly searching. You might be able to join the data from the RSS, though. Honestly, I haven't done much with streaming data to a web mapping application, but am looking to do so in the future and so have been researching.
I'm not sure where you are needing to do this, but if you are looking to deploy a web application using ArcGIS Server, have a look at this sample:
Stream Layer | ArcGIS API for JavaScript
Here's more info on the class:
StreamLayer | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript
And a presentation on the technology from Esri:

Thanks, I'll take a look. The site is in the North of the UK.

Thank you so much for taking the time, It's a massive help.
No problem! Another thing you could do is aggregate all of the RSS feeds using something like RSS Mix (RSS Mix - Mix any number of RSS feeds into one unique new feed! ), to get something like
My feed. It might make getting all of your targeted locations easier.
