Hello
I need to get data from this api :
https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu
to my lakehouse. I need either a file or a table.
I tried so many things !
If someone has an idea ?
Thank
Solved! Go to Solution.
Update:
This code works and successfully downloads a zip file into a lakehouse.
url='https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/api'
key = 'Your API key'
import cdsapi
dataset = "cams-gridded-solar-radiation"
request = {
"variable": ["direct_normal_irradiation"],
"sky_type": ["clear"],
"version": ["4.6"],
"year": ["2023"],
"month": ["01"]
}
client = cdsapi.Client(url = url, key = key)
a = client.retrieve(dataset, request,'/lakehouse/default/Files/Data/file.zip')

Try using copy data activity under Data Pipeline. Select Data store type as external, connection as Rest API, connection type=Rest. In destination select lakehouse and then table or file and provide name of table/file.

Having looked at the API spec and the cdsapi python library source code...
... using a python notebook in the first instance.
https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/how-to-api
https://github.com/ecmwf/cdsapi/blob/master/cdsapi/api.py
Replace the line in the example code that looks like;
client = cdsapi.Client()
with the following so it doesn't need to read from the config file;
client = cdsapi.Client(url='https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/api', key='<API key>')
