We use CAMS data as input to processing chains, to generate value-added products from Sentinel2A L1C.

Since 30 June 2021, the ECMWF public web API service has been replaced by a new API on ADS. The access to CAMS data using this new API is limited to data older than 5 days, which was not the case with the previous API provided by ECMWF.

A reason for that limitation is explained on the site ([https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/cams-global-atmospheric-composition-forecasts?tab=overview](https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/cams-global-atmospheric-composition-forecasts?tab=overview)) "Finally, because the meteorological variables in the forecast do not fall within the general CAMS data licence, they are only available with a delay of 5 days."

Is there a way to access the most recent CAMS data, for example using a previleged account ?&nbsp;

Thanks for your answer&nbsp; ![(smile)](https://confluence.ecmwf.int/s/-xehvhq/9012/8yg2g7/_/images/icons/emoticons/smile.svg)
