#' Get USGS Field Measurement Metadata
#'
#' @description `r get_description("field-measurements-metadata")`
#'
#' @export
#' @param monitoring_location_id `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$monitoring_location_id`
#' Multiple monitoring_location_ids can be requested as a character vector.
#' @param parameter_code `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$parameter_code`
#' Multiple parameter_codes can be requested as a character vector.
#' @param parameter_name `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$parameter_name`
#' Multiple parameter_names can be requested as a character vector.
#' @param parameter_description `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$parameter_description`
#' Multiple parameter_descriptions can be requested as a character vector.
#' @param last_modified `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$last_modified`
#'
#' See also Details below for more information.
#' @param begin `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$begin`
#'
#' See also Details below for more information.
#' @param end `r get_ogc_params("field-measurements-metadata")$end`
#'
#' See also Details below for more information.
#' @param properties A vector of requested columns to be returned from the query.
#' Available options are:
#' `r dataRetrieval:::get_properties_for_docs("field-measurements-metadata", "field_measurement_id")`.
#' The default (`NA`) will return all columns of the data.
#' @param bbox Only features that have a geometry that intersects the bounding
#' box are selected.The bounding box is provided as four or six numbers, depending
#' on whether the coordinate reference system includes a vertical axis (height or
#' depth). Coordinates are assumed to be in crs 4326. The expected format is a numeric
#' vector structured: c(xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax). Another way to think of it is c(Western-most longitude,
#' Southern-most latitude, Eastern-most longitude, Northern-most longitude).
#' @param limit The optional limit parameter is used to control the subset of the
#' selected features that should be returned in each page. The maximum allowable
#' limit is 50000. It may be beneficial to set this number lower if your internet
#' connection is spotty. The default (`NA`) will set the limit to the maximum
#' allowable limit for the service.
#' @param skipGeometry This option can be used to skip response geometries for
#' each feature. The returning object will be a data frame with no spatial
#' information.
#' @param convertType logical, defaults to `TRUE`. If `TRUE`, the function
#' will convert the data to dates and qualifier to string vector.
#' @param no_paging logical, defaults to `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, the data will
#' be requested from a native csv format. This can be dangerous because the
#' data will cut off at 50,000 rows without indication that more data
#' is available. Use `TRUE` with caution.
