wf_get_key (user = "5168x")
Error in b_wincred_i_get (target): Windows credential store error in 'get': Element not found.
using it it gives this error.

But when using wf_set_key, there is no problem.

wf_set_key (user = "5168x",

  • key = "23a2dddd-cc98-431c-8a3e-d06713eaxxxx",
  • service = "cds")
    User 5168x for cds service added successfully in keychain

When I try to run wf_request I get the following error.
file <- wf_request (user = "5168x",

  • request = request,
  • transfer = TRUE,
  • path = ".")

Error: Data identifier reanalysis-era5-single-level is not found in Web API, CDS or ADS datasets. Or your login credentials do not match your request.

Why do you think this is happening? I do everything according to what is written in the document.

You have to specify the service.

wf_get_key (user = "5168x", service = "cds")

I registered when I used wf_set_key. But I don't understand why it gives an error when I create a request?
Also, shouldn't the display in the setup section change?
you can retrieve the key using
wf_get_key (user = "1234")

Alternatively you can input your login info with an interactive request
wf_set_key (service = "cds")

Can or can you not retrieve the data?

wf_set_key(user = "test", key = "foo", service = "cds")
wf_get_key(user = "test", service = "cds")

If no key is returned correctly you can not create a request. You should then check if your keyring is correctly installed on Windows.

I tried these and registration is successful.But it still gives the following error in the request.
Error: Data identifier reanalysis-era5-single-level is not found in Web API, CDS or ADS datasets.Or your login credentials do not match your request.
Should I check with the function wf_check_request if it is properly installed on Windows? If so, I tried it and again I got the error "Error: Data identifier reanalysis-era5-single-level is not found in Web API, CDS or ADS datasets. Or your login credentials do not match your request".

Then your request is faulty. Check the formatting and never hand code it.

Thank you. I think i got it.

  • timeout set to 1.0 hours
    It means it will be downloaded in 1 hour, right?

Hi there,

I fixed the issue with the following procedure:

  • close RStudio
  • download Rtools.exe from web and install it
  • open Rstudio
  • Update all packages (say OK to the request to "download from sources the compiled packages"... or something similar) and wait for this operation (may take a while!)
  • Restar R session (maybe not nedded)

I hope this may be helpful!

Thanks for the pointers. It's weird as my unit checks, which download data function well on Windows. Might be something really configuration specific.
