Can I use the Python requests to retrieve data using API MARS service ?
Step-by-step guide
Yes! You can use the Access MARS service through ECMWF WebAPI using a Python script. This will allow any user with access to MARS to retrieve data. The syntax is:
server = ECMWFService("mars") server.execute({ "python":"query" }, "target")
Example:
#!/usr/bin/env python from ecmwfapi import * server = ECMWFService("mars") server.execute( { "class": "od", "date": "-1", "expver": "1", "levtype": "sfc", "param": "167.128", "step": "0/to/240/by/12", "stream": "oper", "time": "00", "type": "fc" }, "target.grib")
