   Hi @ryancoe —

   Indeed! Signing up for a Trial API account would grant you access to SPOT-0222. You can log in to weather.sofarocean.com, click "Get Your API Token," and start a trial. The instructions are also written up here.

   Hope that helps.

   @tcj - We tried to query SPOT-0222 again recently for development/prototyping, but that didn't seem to work. I'm guessing this is because, as you mention above, access to SPOT-0222 was related to some sort of trial period. Is the best course of action to sign up for a new trial, or is there a public buoy that we can always query (this would be helpful, as we'd like to release our code open-source).

   Python code

   from pysofar.sofar import SofarApi
   from pysofar import get_token
   sofar_token = my_token # replace with token
   get_token()
   sofar = SofarApi(sofar_token)
   sofar
   spotter_grid = sofar.get_spotters()
   [spotter.id for spotter in spotter_grid]

   ['SPOT-0589']
