Description
The VAMDC interface relied on a "beta" project that may be perpetual beta.
The old-school version maybe more reliable:
https://cdms.astro.uni-koeln.de/cgi-bin/cdmssearch
than the new, which is what we tried to support:
https://cdms.astro.uni-koeln.de/cdms/portal/
It would be pretty easy to whip up something analogous to jplspec for cdmssearch
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing jplspec implementation and the two CDMS interface URLs mentioned in the issue. Determine how to provide an analogous astroquery interface for the classic cdmssearch service; done means the classic service is supported instead of, or alongside, the VAMDC-based portal.
