Our timeseriesplot web service, the primary source of graphical representations of channel level seismic data, is moving from service.iris.edu to service.earthscope.org as part of our cloud transition. The service documentation contains the most up-to-date information regarding changes to the service.

We’ve worked to make this transition seamless, but if you encounter issues please contact us.

The transition will take place in two phases:

• Soft launch (August 11, 2026) — The service becomes available at its new location, https://service.earthscope.org/irisws/timeseriesplot/1/query. The existing service at service.iris.edu continues to operate unchanged during this transition period, allowing users to test and migrate to the new endpoint at their convenience.
• Redirect (August 18, 2026) — Requests to https://service.iris.edu/irisws/timeseriesplot/1/query will redirect to https://service.earthscope.org/irisws/timeseriesplot/1/query. The vast majority of web software follow these redirects automatically or can be configured to do so.

Along with the move, the new service includes a breaking change: The /irisws/timeseriesplot/1/queryauth endpoint is being removed. As a result, this tool will only be able to plot non-restricted data. If you rely on authenticated access to data plots for your work, please contact us.

We recommend that client developers and power users update any hard-coded references to point to the new endpoint at https://service.earthscope.org rather than relying on the redirect from the old location.

Please reach out to help@earthscope.org if you have any questions or run into trouble with this new service.
