Error in requesting specific RGTs and cycles

I was trying to download different cycles of ground tracks of interest by passing a cycle list and a track list. I know a similar issue has been discussed before, but when I tried to get multiple RGTs of one cycle, the returned dataset contains all the tracks in between the RGT numbers of this track list, instead of only returning the two RGTs I am interested, e.g. tracks ‘0415’, ‘0598’ in cycle 7:

short_name = 'ATL06' 
spatial_extent = [-61.7189, -83.5349, -60.7723, -83.3023] 
date_range = ['2019-07-30','2020-11-28'] 
#region_a = ipx.Query(short_name, spatial_extent, date_range)
ipx.Query(short_name, spatial_extent, date_range, cycles='07', tracks=['0415','0598']).avail_granules(ids=True)

The above code will return:

[['ATL06_20200422180234_04150711_003_02.h5',
  'ATL06_20200426034538_04670711_003_02.h5',
  'ATL06_20200426175414_04760711_003_02.h5',
  'ATL06_20200430033716_05280711_003_02.h5',
  'ATL06_20200430174552_05370711_003_02.h5',
  'ATL06_20200504173733_05980711_003_02.h5']] 

When querying multiple RGTs from different cycles, I will receive KeyError: ‘feed’:

ipx.Query(short_name, spatial_extent, date_range, cycles=['06', '07'], tracks=['0415','0598']).avail_granules(ids=True)

    169                 break

KeyError: 'feed'

Any idea why? I was also wondering if it’s possible to only return the tracks with specific cycle numbers and RGT numbers that I passed in the Query class. Thanks!

Hello @dpyles97 and @icetianli. I just merged #148 into development, which allows searches by orbital parameters. I haven’t tried these updates with your specific use cases, but I wanted to reopen the conversation to let you know this functionality was available and reopen the conversation if we’d like to think about implementing a way to query/order data as you’d like.

Great, thanks @JessicaS11 for keeping us updated! I am happy to help with this when the orbit_numbers is solved by the CMR team.
