EIDA routing client

Dear ObsPy team,

there seems to be some issue with the EIDA fdsn routing client. Using the routing client I cannot access any metadata that is hosted at INGV. Using the normal/direct fdsn client and specifying ‘INGV’ it works, though.

from obspy.clients.fdsn import RoutingClient
from obspy.clients.fdsn import Client

from obspy import UTCDateTime

routed = RoutingClient(‘eida-routing’)
direct = Client(‘INGV’)

start = UTCDateTime(‘2016-01-01T00:00:00’)
end = UTCDateTime(‘2018-12-31T00:00:00’)

routed.get_stations(network='IV, starttime=start, endtime=end)

Specifying more/less station/channel/location info does not change the behaviour.

Can you have a look into this? Thanks!

Best,
Florian

Hi again,

meanwhile I was able to narrow it down: When specifying the level of the request (e.g. level=‘channel’), everything works. Without specifying the level the routing client does not work. Not sure if this behaviour is wanted … maybe some default behaviour should be set when no level is specified?

Best,
Florian

Hi Florian,

this indeed seems to be a bug, can you open a ticket on github for it? Thanks!

cheers,
Tobias
