Description
The NRAO legacy archive, which is queried via astroquery.nrao, will be unavailable to users outside the NRAO domains beginning on or about May 2, 2022; the NRAO legacy archive will be fully retired at some point after May 2nd.. The new NRAO archive service is accessible from data.nrao.edu and is not compatible with the existing interface. We suggest that astroquery.nrao in its current state be marked for deprecation.
A scriptable interface for the new NRAO archive has not yet been implemented and we'll work with you all to implement an astroquery interface once it is available.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing astroquery.nrao interface and the new archive service at data.nrao.edu. The issue says the new service is not compatible with the current interface and that no scriptable interface has been implemented yet; the work is complete only when a defined TAP-based interface for the new archive exists.
