Q. Was there a change in streaming LF data?

Yes. With the release of LF's new viewer in late March 2022, LF data access with ArcGRID, LFDAT, and Non-ESRI scripting was archived. Note Non-ESRI scripting was removed July 1, 2022. However, the LF Program developed a new method to access its products called the LF Product Service (LFPS). LFPS is a RESTful Application Programming Interface (API) that allows users to request and download a LF products file, an output file incorporating the requested product layers via a multiband raster, through an API using HTTPS requests. Features of the LFPS include:

Resampling product layers to a coarser resolution, defining an output projection for a study area, and editing select product layers based on rules using other product layers within the products file
100% RESTful
Supports GET & POST for Endpoints
All Downloads Endpoint(s) support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
Asynchronous by default
