Step by step instructions on how to download data using new Climate Data Store Beta (CDS-Beta)

Hi, @Jelmer_Veenstra ,

According to @Anabelle

You will not have to update the URL in your .cdsapirc files in the immediate future. …there should be no impact to users when we switch from CDS-Beta to CDS in September as both CDS-Beta and CDS urls will continue to co-exist for longer

I agree, we can suggest it via Support Portal

If you have not set up your CDS API credentials with a ~/.cdsapirc file, it is still possible to provide the credentials when initialising the cdsapi.Client. like here:

# If you have not set up your CDS API credentials with a ~/.cdsapirc file,
# it is possible to provide the credentials when initialising the cdsapi.Client.

if os.path.isfile("~/.cdsapirc"):
    cdsapi_kwargs = {}
else:
    URL = 'https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2'
    KEY = '##################################'
    cdsapi_kwargs = {
        'url': URL,
        'key': KEY,
    }

I borrowed it from the tutorials.
