CMIP6 Unable to parse the time values entered

[mendezr]

I want to download CMIP6 a subset data between two dates using the cdsapi but didn't have success.

I tried to download with this configuration:

c.retrieve(
    'projections-cmip6',
    {
        'temporal_resolution': 'daily',
        'experiment': 'ssp5_8_5',
        'level': 'single_levels',
        'variable': 'precipitation',
        'model': 'cmcc_esm2',
        'date': '2020-01-01/2050-01-01',
        'format': 'zip',
    },
    'download.zip'

When I run the code below, got this error:

Also tried to use the toolbox request and got this error:

If I didn't select the date parameter (the whole available temporal range), the API works and the file is downloaded.

Hi,

Sorry for the very slow response in responding, this is not a channel monitored by our support team.

This issue is related to the available data rather than the cdsapi software, additionally it looks top be referencing the legacy system. If this is still an issue, I recommend using the help channels available on the CDS:
https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/help

Many thanks
