When will the new Common Data Store be out of beta?

[Bert_Coerver]

Hi there,

I’m trying to update some (Python) code I maintain to prepare for the shutdown of the old Climate Data Store (CDS) on 2024/09/03 and use the new Common Data Store (cDS) instead. To do that I think I need to:

• Upgrade cdsapi to >= 0.7.0.
• Adjust my url to https://cds-beta.climate.copernicus.eu/api.
• Provide a new key (NOT starting with 6 digits and a semicolon, like the old key did).

I have a few questions about this though:

1. Will the cDS be out of beta on the third of September?
2. Will the url of the cDS change once it’s out of beta (and if so, to what)?
3. Will cdsapi be updated to support all previously supported keyword arguments (before the third of September)? For example, I’m now getting a user warning telling me the following keywords are not working: verify, info_callback, warning_callback, error_callback and debug_callback.
4. Is it possible to somehow check which version of cdsapi is used from within a Python session? So not using pip freeze or conda list cdsapi, but doing something like this (this example doesn’t work):

import cdsapi
print(cdsapi.__version__)

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Bert
