<p>Users of the POWER Data Access Viewer (DAV) should experience
no major impacts on usability during this migration process.
For users of the custom POWER Application Programming
Interface (API), there will be substantial improvements in the
responsiveness, usability, and standard compliance of the API
endpoints. This includes an updated path based Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) system, enhanced Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) query keywords, a streamed response of the
requested data format (no longer requiring you to find the
requested data format download link within the JSON response).

<p>For more information on how to integrate the Version 2 of the
POWER API Services Catalog, please navigate to the
<a href="https://power.larc.nasa.gov/beta/docs/services/api/"
moz-do-not-send="true">POWER Services Catalog Documentation</a>
link on the Beta site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This migration is expected to be completed on 07/01/2021.
Once migrated, the POWER Services Catalog Version 1 will be
deactivated and only Version 2 will be supported going
forward.<o:p></o:p></p>
