Notes
- The catalogue is served whole — over 8,000 cubes in one response with no server-side search, so filtering happens here. That is why the run pulls everything and then narrows.
archivedarrives as the string"1"rather than a boolean, so a truthy check marks every cube archived. It is compared explicitly.- An archived cube is not a broken one — it is a discontinued series whose
history is still valid. Use
activeOnlywhen you need something currently updated. productIdis the key for fetching the actual data via the WDSgetDataFromCubePidCoordendpoints; this Actor catalogues, it does not download the series themselves.
