Downloading Data from NOAA

In release 2024 3.1 was using

URL_String = “https://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/hdsc/new/cgi_readH5.py?lat=“+latitudeS+”&lon=“+longitudeS+”&type=pf&data=“+dataType+”&units=“+units+”&series=”+series

Try

NOAAConnect.Send(“GET”, URL_String)

Catch e As UnsupportedOperationException

was getting all the data that I needed

Now in release 2025
same code I only get

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”>

any suggestions?

If you go back to 2024 3.1, it works again? You can discard NOAA server changes.
Maybe the browser identification changed and NOAA gives a different page depending on that. Can you check the browser identification used?

You should try to use the NOAA API instead (if that provides the same data):

works fine in 2024 3.1

does not work - 2025 1.1

will look at API I guess…

Can you check the headers for the request with 2024r3.1 and 2025r1.1?
Can you share a sample project? (zip it and upload here)
In the long run, using the API is much better.

Well appears NOAA moved web page…

Funny the app complied previously works fine but new app did not… :man_gesturing_ok:

But any away seem to be working fine now.

Thanks.
