KeyError saying "['flags', 'QC', 'date_time'] not found in axis" when downloading tide gage data before 1995 about noaa_coops HOT 4 CLOSED

Was able to reproduce. This is sort of related to #44. Need to better handle when the CO-OPS API does not return data for large data requests.

from noaa_coops.

To see if the size of the data request mattered, I retested trying to download just one day in 1994. This also failed and I am getting a new error.

import noaa_coops as nc

sta = nc.Station("8638610")

lat, lon = sta.lat_lon

data_wl = sta.get_data(begin_date="19940526",
                    end_date="19940527",
                    product="water_level",
                    datum="NAVD",
                    units="english",
                    time_zone="lst"
    )

COOPSAPIError: No data was found. This product may not be offered at this station at the requested time.

@lassiterdc see my comment here: #44 (comment)

TLDR - try using product=hourly_height instead of product=water_level.

I see, thanks a lot!
