Kia ora Blair,

Thanks for the post. I was following the instructions but encountered an error while entering the Service URL. Specifically, I am getting this message: 'The SAS is not a valid account SAS. An account SAS with service ('ss') and resource type ('srt') parameters is required.'

Any ideas of what could be happening?

Just to provide some context, I am trying to find an easier and faster way to extract GXP temporal data for multiple years and multiple nodes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Patricio
