Accessing tide gauge data via ObsPy from the CWB_Client not working ?

[elidana]

A user has problems in accessing tide gauge data through CWB

I had successfully and repeatedly used obspy to access the CWB_Client to retrieve tide gauge data for the Kaikaura tide gauge and others.

This currently doesn't seem to work.

Here is an excerpt of the code I'm using:

        eventTime = UTCDateTime('2016-11-13T11:02:56.00Z')
        st = self.client.get_waveforms(network="NZ",
                                  station=stationCode,
                                  location='41',
                                  channel= channel, #'?T?', '*', 'BTT'
                                  starttime = eventTime - datetime.timedelta(hours=self.prerun),
                                  endtime = eventTime+duration*60*60)

        if bandpass:
            print 'TG_Class: getLiveTideGuagesObsPy: de-tiding with bandpass filter and de-mean ...'
            st.detrend(type='demean')
            st.filter('bandpass', freqmin=1/3600.0, freqmax=1/180.0, corners=2, zerophase=True)

        data = st.merge().traces[0].data/10000.0

the problem is that st.traces is returned as an empty list. I've tried the LTH channel and BTT, but no luck. Tide gauges I tried are KAIT, SUMT. The server seems to be up as I do not get any error message. Any idea what might be going on there ?

Hello @seamap3d , you should now be able to access the data. Could you please have a look and advise us if you are still having problem? Thanks

unfortunately now I get:
