Discovering GWOSC OSDF URLs using GWDataFind.

from gwdatafind import find_urls
print(find_urls(
    "H",
    "H1_LOSC_4_V1",
    1126259460,
    1126259464,
    host="https://datafind.gw-openscience.org",
))

This should give the following output:

['file://localhost/cvmfs/gwosc.osgstorage.org/gwdata/O1/strain.4k/frame.v1/H1/1126170624/H-H1_LOSC_4_V1-1126256640-4096.gwf']

This file is also available directly using the OSDF Client as follows:

stashcp /gwdata/O1/strain.4k/frame.v1/H1/1126170624/H-H1_LOSC_4_V1-1126256640-4096.gwf data.gwf
