- Create a new EWDS-Beta account and accept EWDS-Beta Terms & Conditions at https://ewds-beta.climate.copernicus.eu/
- Accept the licences of the product you are interested in (go to the Download form of the product of interest).
- For API access:
- Update API credentials and end point (eg. in your .cdsapirc file) as shown, after logging on here (Note that new .cdsapirc file should only contain a URL and a key field - there is NO UID field anymore).
- Upgrade your CDS API (i.e pip install --upgrade cdsapi). Please make sure you are using a supported version of Python i.e. 3.8 and above.
- New API is designed to be backward compatible which means that once your .cdsapirc is updated and your CDS API package upgraded, your API script may run successfully immediately, downloading data from CDS-Beta. There are a few datasets however for which API syntax may have changed - please check the warning on the catalogue page of the affected datasets (e.g. E-OBS).
- Run a small API test request.
