Description
I tried to get an overview of the locations with daily HIC depth measurements.
What I Did
H_stations_hic = hic.get_timeseries_list(parametertype_name='H', ts_name = 'DagGem')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-17-e7a6f63b481b>", line 1, in <module>
H_stations_hic = hic.get_timeseries_list(parametertype_name='H', ts_name = 'DagGem')
File "~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pywaterinfo\waterinfo.py", line 825, in get_timeseries_list
data, response = self.request_kiwis(query_param)
File "~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pywaterinfo\waterinfo.py", line 221, in request_kiwis
parsed = res.json()

obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
JSONDecodeError: Invalid control character at

It looks like the server is improperly escaping special characters. This is most likely not a bug in pywaterinfo but in the Kisters software.
As these special characters appear in comments, you can still fetch the list of timeseries by specifying which variables you are interested in, eg:
H_stations_hic = hic.get_timeseries_list(parametertype_name='H', ts_name = 'DagGem', returnfields="ts_id,station_name,stationparameter_longname,station_local_x,station_local_y")see https://hicws.vlaanderen.be/KiWIS/KiWIS?service=kisters&type=queryServices&request=getRequestInfo for an overview of possible variables.

@JoniDH does this work and were you able to extract the data?
