Hello all. Status bgc support?

          Hello all.  Status bgc support?  No errors for dataset='phy'

argopy.set_options(src='gdac', dataset='bgc', mode='expert')
ArgoSet = ArgoDataFetcher().region(region_date)
df = ArgoSet.to_dataframe()

returns error in fetchers.py:556

ValueError: Errors happened with all URLs, this could be due to an internal impossibility to read returned content.

@SBS-EREHM As you can see ton #202 we're working hard to provide BGC support, but it's not here yet !
It's difficult to put a timeline on BGC data availability

I expect partial support before this summer, partial meaning not all variables and data sources will be supported at the beginning, we'll go gradually

Thanks @gmaze.

I am working on regional queries of CDOM over the complete time of BGC deployments (2012 - present). I can use argovis for now (see Exploring_Argo_BGC_with_Argovis.{ipynb, py}), but it's slow and (from my perspective) retrieving profile data obscure, but the initial query is similar:

from argovisHelpers import helpers as avh

params = {
        'startDate': '2012-01-01T00:00:00Z',
        'endDate':   '2013-01-01T00:00:00Z',
        'source': 'argo_bgc',
        'polygon': polygon,
        'data': 'all'
    }

d  = avh.query('argo', options=params, apikey=API_KEY, apiroot=API_PREFIX)

I forget to post an update here 😨

argopy started to provided BGC support after release v0.1.14 !

We keep working on improving BGC support, most notably to implement easy parameter data mode filtering for the "Standard" user mode
