Hi @xrise75,

thanks for reporting.

The issue you're reporting is due to EIDA switching to HTTPS. Still eidaws-federator doesn't provide its API via HTTPS. However, accessing the service via HTTP should work. Also, the links under http://www.orfeus-eu.org/data/eida/nodes/FEDERATOR/ should be available.

Out of curiosity: how are you calling the web service?

Just in case you're using obspy:

from obspy import UTCDateTime
from obspy.clients.fdsn import Client

c = Client("http://eida-federator.ethz.ch")
start = UTCDateTime("2020-01-01")
inv = c.get_stations(network="BW,CH", starttime=start)

print(inv)

.. which should print a list of all stations including both the BW and CH network.

c = Client("http://eida-federator.ethz.ch")

Out of curiosity.. is that internally using EIDAWS-routing and then assembling the data on top of that? So basically it would be like our RoutingClient just without the ability to use the token mechanism?

Should we add this service to our list of FDSN nodes?

Thank you @damp,

I was calling through ObsPy. Then the EIDA webpage here (http://www.orfeus-eu.org/data/eida/webservices/) should change and point to http (not to https) because it is misleading.

@megies Personally I would add the service to the FDSN list of ObsPy

Yes and no. eidaws-federator uses it's dedicated routing API based on the underlying eidaws-routing configuration. But, yes, it is the federating API gateway of EIDA (though, still without restricted data access).

Should we add this service to our list of FDSN nodes?

That sounds good. Do you want me to open a PR?

So you most probably were not using eidaws-federator, but ObsPy's client side federation mechanism.

Then the EIDA webpage here (http://www.orfeus-eu.org/data/eida/webservices/) should change and point to http (not to https) because it is misleading.

It's currently WIP. So instead of changing the webpage, I'd leave it like that. eidaws-federator will soon make it's API accessible via HTTPS.

Sure! There's two places to add it. Besides header.py there's also a doctest in __init__.py what is showing it to the users on the FDSN API front page.

EDIT: should go into branch maintenance_1.3.x
