Authenticating with UAT when searching for services

[eni-awowale]

Hi all! I am at the GES_DISC and work with @battistowx!

We use earthaccess in the Cloud Giovianni Averaging Service to query CMR for the latest version of our service so we can populate the history attribute field in our time averaged map.

When I call earthaccess.search_services(provider='GES_DISC') it returns the results from the CMR PROD query. But we are also interested in getting UAT records.

I get a RuntimeError when I explicitly try to authenticate with UAT

earthaccess.login(system=earthaccess.UAT)
earthaccess.search_services(provider='GES_DISC')

From a quick glance at services.py and api.py it looks like search_services is using my UAT edl token to query the CMR PROD API?

Maybe this is something we could investigate during the next hackday!

We discussed this at the hackday today with @JessicaS11 .

• @battistowx has a related draft PR to update the search.services() kwargs: List specific kwargs compatible with search_services #1155.
• Other use cases that we could offer:
  • Give me all collections associated with a given service
  • What service options are available (temporal subsetting, etc. )
• For now, from the Giovanni dev perspective, other than this issue, the method is fulfilling those needs. This issue is also not completely blocking their work, since they can just use the UAT EDL token, but it ought to be fixed.

I am migrating this to an Issue so it can be worked.
