THREDDS API to go away

[ecoon]

What happened?

Just a heads up for both the users and maintainers of this package -- the THREDDS API:

https://github.com/hyriver/pydaymet/blob/main/src/pydaymet/pydaymet.py#L39

is going away in the next few days. I've been looking into alternatives (see, e.g. https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/viewtopic.php?t=7091 ) but haven't had a lot of success. I'll respond to this issue if I come up with something reliable -- we've been using more of your packages in https://github.com/environmental-modeling-workflows/watershed-workflow/ so just wanted to give you a heads up! Note that DayMet isn't going away, just the THREDDS API. I'm not sure about the single pixel API but can ask if it would be useful.

What did you expect to happen?

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

MVCE confirmation

• Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue.
• Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
• New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.

Thanks for the heads-up. The netcdfsubsetter that I use in PyDaymet was supposed to stay online for a while. But unfortunately, it's been shutdown. I will replace the service with EarthData or Harmony. In the meanwhile, you can look into using either PyGridMET or PyNLDAS2.

I think this API is now dead: https://thredds.daac.ornl.gov/thredds/ncss/ornldaac

I am getting an error from the pydaymet.get_bygeom():

>>>
from pynhd import NLDI
import pydaymet as daymet
 
geometry = NLDI().get_basins("01031500").geometry[0]

var = ["prcp", "tmin"]
dates = ("2000-01-01", "2000-06-30")

daily = daymet.get_bygeom(geometry, dates, variables=var, pet="priestley_taylor", snow=True)

@Anders-Hopkins Yes, unfortunately, it's decommissioned. I'm looking for suitable alternatives that offer Daymet. In the meantime, you can try using PyGridMET or PyNDLAS2
