[OWSLib-users] Fwd: WMS/WMTS Examples Outdated

[Scott Henderson]

Hello, 

I'm new to owslib, and have been attempting to make a few maps with [Cartopy](https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy). Trying to run the WMS example in the README.txt file (same as online documentation), results in the following error:

ServiceException: u'This server no longer provides full WMS services!'

Seems like server http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi is being moved to [GIBS](https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about-eosdis/science-system-description/eosdis-components/global-imagery-browse-services-gibs), according to this site: http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov.

I then followed the WMTS example (using GIBS), but am curious how to access historical images? The default is to retrieve data from the last 24 hours, although it's possible to retrieve images back to 2012 (https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/GIBS/GIBS+API+for+Developers#GIBSAPIforDevelopers-OGCWebMapTileService(WMTS)). For example, the following address syntax retrieves an image from 2013:

http://map1.vis.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts-geo/wmts.cgi?SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetTile&VERSION=1.0.0&LAYER=MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor&STYLE=&TILEMATRIXSET=EPSG4326_250m&TILEMATRIX=6&TILEROW=13&TILECOL=36&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&TIME=2012-07-09
