I was attempting to download version 22 GCMD keywords from the API, and I notice two things:
1. The URL seems to have changed from https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concept_schemes to https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concept_schemes, for example.
2. The CSV file which can be downloaded from https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concepts/concept_scheme/sciencekeywords?format=csv does not have the correct version number (22). Instead, it says "Keyword Version: N". That does not seem right.

Thank you for letting us know. This is a known issue that has been reported to the software development team.

Thanks, Tyler. Do you have any idea when the problem might be addressed?

Another change I've noticed in the CSV files is that empty elements are not actually empty. They contain a single space:

Code: Select all

"EARTH SCIENCE"," "," "," "," "," "," ","e9f67a66-e9fc-435c-b720-ae32a2c3d8f5"

This issue has been fixed in our development environment and is currently being tested. It is expected to hit our production environment during the release on 9/24/25.
