Having trouble accessing yearly nsrdb data, similar to issue #99 #158

Have been trying to access yearly NSRDB, but keep getting the error : Error retrieving data: None.

year = 2013
# currently using the NRSDB v3.
nsrdb_file = '/nrel/nsrdb/v3/nsrdb_{}.h5'.format(year)

# Extract meta data and time index from desired dataset
with Resource(nsrdb_file, hsds=True) as f:
    nsrdb_meta = f.meta
    nsrdb_ti = f.time_index

I assume the error is being thrown because of the use of HSDS to access the entire 2013 dataset. In the earlier Issue #99 , a solution provided was to use the HDF groups Kita lab solution. I would appreciate help with getting in touch with the group and modifying my script to access the data.

The public HSDS server is either having bandwidth issues or is down completely. Another option is to stand up your own HSDS server, instructions are here: https://nrel.github.io/rex/misc/examples.hsds.html#setting-up-a-local-hsds-server

It looks like the server was down. I am able to access the data today. Thank you.
