Hello,
I'm converting some old webapi request to cdsapi ones (from ADS). In my previous requests, I was using the grib codes. Is there a way to use the grib codes of the variables instead of their long names? I tried a few options of syntax but couldn't make it work.
Working cdsapi request with the long name:
```python
import cdsapi
import yaml
with open('/home/Earth/pbretonn/.adsapirc', 'r') as f:
credentials = yaml.safe_load(f)
c = cdsapi.Client(url=credentials['url'], key=credentials['key'])
c.retrieve(
'cams-global-fire-emissions-gfas',
{
'date': '2022-08-08/2022-08-08',
'format': 'grib',
'variable': 'wildfire_flux_of_organic_carbon',
},
'download.grib')
```
Old request with the grib codes:
```python
from ecmwfapi import ECMWFDataServer
import os
server = ECMWFDataServer()
server.retrieve({
"class": "mc",
"dataset": "cams_gfas",
"date": "_date_" ,
"expver": "0001",
"levtype": "sfc",
"param": "90.210",
"step": "0-24",
"stream": "gfas",
"time": "00:00:00",
"type": "ga",
"target": "download.grib",
})
```
What I can't make work is something like:
```python
import cdsapi
import yaml
with open('/home/Earth/pbretonn/.adsapirc', 'r') as f:
credentials = yaml.safe_load(f)
c = cdsapi.Client(url=credentials['url'], key=credentials['key'])
c.retrieve(
'cams-global-fire-emissions-gfas',
{
'date': '2022-08-08/2022-08-08',
'format': 'grib',
'variable': ''90.210",
},
'download.grib')
```
If the option is not available, I wanted to build a dictionary based on the grib codes and their equivalent long names (this is just an example request, but I have a long list of codes to convert), but I'm actually not sure where the names of the variables of the cdsapi come from.
Thank you!
