I'm trying to download daily averaged data using the toolbox.  The code I'm using is at the bottom of the post.  As a side note, I can use the api to get hourly data, it's when I use the toolbox that things break.   Thanks for any help!   --Brent After I start the code it tells me that things are queued and then it fails with: 2023-04-17 18:31:07,036 INFO Welcome to the CDS 2023-04-17 18:31:07,037 INFO Sending request to [https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2/tasks/services/tool/toolbox/orchestrator/workflow/clientid-805d8a96edb44aa7b209f7dfd30eda68](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2/tasks/services/tool/toolbox/orchestrator/workflow/clientid-805d8a96edb44aa7b209f7dfd30eda68) 2023-04-17 18:31:07,215 INFO Request is queued 2023-04-17 18:31:58,379 INFO Request is failed 2023-04-17 18:31:58,379 ERROR Message: an internal error occurred processing your request 2023-04-17 18:31:58,379 ERROR Reason:  Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)   cmdline: git clone git@gitrepo:c3s/era5.git /home/cds/compute\_workflows/c3s/era5/master   stdout: 'Cloning into '/home/cds/compute\_workflows/c3s/era5/master'...'   stderr: 'Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.168.0.248' to the list of known hosts.

Hi Brent, The values for "realm" and  "project" were changed after the documentation was produced, so you just need to change the values for "realm" and  "project" in your script i.e.: import cdsapi c = cdsapi.Client() MONTHS = ["01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12"] for month in MONTHS:     result = c.service("tool.toolbox.orchestrator.workflow",     params= {"realm": "user-apps", "project": "app-c3s-daily-era5-statistics", "version": "master",     "kwargs": {"dataset": "reanalysis-era5-single-levels", "product\_type": "reanalysis","variable": "2m\_temperature","statistic": "daily\_mean","year": "2020","month": month,"time\_zone": "UTC+00:0","frequency": "1-hourly","grid": "2.5/2.5","area": {"lat": [-90, 90], "lon": [-180, 180]}             },             "workflow\_name": "application"     })     c.download(result) % python3 era5\_daily\_via\_cdsapi\_forum\_180423.py 2023-04-18 16:10:07,271 INFO Welcome to the CDS 2023-04-18 16:10:07,271 INFO Sending request to [https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2/tasks/services/tool/toolbox/orchestrator/workflow/clientid-fbb3f759881246c08d9f9ef64416cbd4](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2/tasks/services/tool/toolbox/orchestrator/workflow/clientid-fbb3f759881246c08d9f9ef64416cbd4) 2023-04-18 16:10:07,390 INFO Request is queued 2023-04-18 16:18:26,966 INFO Request is completed 2023-04-18 16:18:26,970 INFO Downloading [https://download-0019.copernicus-climate.eu/cache-compute-0019/cache/data8/052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc](https://download-0019.copernicus-climate.eu/cache-compute-0019/cache/data8/052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc) to [052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc](http://052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc) (1.3M) 2023-04-18 16:18:27,680 INFO Download rate 1.8M/s  % ncdump -h [052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc](http://052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194.nc) netcdf \052b32c4-cf41-424c-9f79-e01fd6dec194 { dimensions: time = 31 ; lat = 73 ; lon = 144 ; variables: int64 time(time) ; time:long\_name = "time" ; time:standard\_name = "time" ; time:axis = "T" ; time:stored\_direction = "increasing" ; time:type = "double" ; time:units = "days since 2020-01-01" ; time:calendar = "proleptic\_gregorian" ; int64 realization ; realization:long\_name = "realization" ; realization:units = "1" ; realization:standard\_name = "realization" ; realization:stored\_direction = "increasing" ; realization:type = "integer" ; double lat(lat) ; lat:\_FillValue = NaN ; lat:units = "degrees\_north" ; lat:standard\_name = "latitude" ; lat:long\_name = "latitude" ; lat:stored\_direction = "decreasing" ; lat:axis = "Y" ; lat:positive = "up" ; lat:type = "double" ; lat:valid\_max = 90. ; lat:valid\_min = -90. ; double lon(lon) ; lon:\_FillValue = NaN ; lon:units = "degrees\_east" ; lon:standard\_name = "longitude" ; lon:long\_name = "longitude" ; lon:axis = "X" ; lon:positive = "up" ; lon:type = "double" ; lon:valid\_max = 360. ; lon:valid\_min = -180. ; float t2m(time, lat, lon) ; t2m:\_FillValue = NaNf ; t2m:long\_name = "2 metre temperature" ; t2m:units = "K" ; t2m:standard\_name = "air\_temperature" ; t2m:comment = "near-surface (usually, 2 meter) air temperature" ; t2m:cds\_magics\_style\_name = "near-surface-air-temperature" ; t2m:type = "real" ; t2m:coordinates = "realization" ; // global attributes: :Conventions = "CF-1.7" ; :institution = "European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts" ; :history = "2023-04-18T15:18 GRIB to CDM+CF via cfgrib-0.9.9.1/ecCodes-2.27.0 with {\"source\": \"/nfs/compute-0019/data1/adaptor.mars.internal-1681831066.585602-8010-6-cc816243-dc94-442d-9747-037c4ce046e3.grib\", \"filter\_by\_keys\": {}, \"encode\_cf\": [\"parameter\", \"time\", \"geography\", \"vertical\"]}" ; :source = "ECMWF" ; } This page has more information and examples: # [Retrieve daily ERA5/ERA5-Land data using the CDS API](https://prod.ecmwf-forum-prod.compute.cci2.ecmwf.int/t/retrieve-daily-era5-era5-land-data-using-the-cds-api/1150) Thanks, Kevin ---

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your reply.  Changing those parameters fixed the issue. Are there updated docs for the API that show all the available parameters and functions in the API?  I was trying to specify the output filename and thought there would be an easy way but wasn't able to do so using the toolbox.  I was able to do it using some code (yours?) that I copied below but it seems cludgy and like I'm missing some obvious way to do it. Thanks again! --Brent location=result[0]['location'] res = requests.get(location, stream = True) print("Writing data to " + file\_name) with open(file\_name,'wb') as fh:     for r in res.iter\_content(chunk\_size = 1024):         fh.write(r) fh.close() ---

Hi Brent, re: API functions and parameters - i believe that currently the best reference is the code itself [https://github.com/ecmwf/cdsapi](https://github.com/ecmwf/cdsapi) I don't think it's possible to directly specify the Toolbox output filename in the current version of the Toolbox, but this is something that may be possible in the future as the CDS develops. Thanks, Kevin
