Summary: The response from the Get ratings endpoint is not the accepted format for the Post ratings endpoint.
Details/Steps to Reproduce Error:
I tried to use Swagger to get a rating from prod and post it in dev.
This is the Get from prod:
curl -X 'GET' \
'https://cwms.sec.usace.army.mil/cwms-data/ratings?name=FSMI.Stage%3BFlow.EXSA.PRODUCTION&office=SWT&_cb=1780332727652' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0' \
-H 'Pragma: no-cache'
This is the response back:

And I got back a 500 error. I tried to get the error out of Graphana- I found this:
01-Jun-2026 17:19:51.557 WARNING [http-nio-7000-exec-39] cwms.cda.ApiServlet.lambda$init$9 error on request[bd185434-3dd8-4820-afa3-0913de779a0f]: /cwms-data/timeseries
We did find a work-around; if I use the Get for one in prod:
curl -X 'GET' \
'https://cwms.sec.usace.army.mil/cwms-data/ratings/FSMI.Stage%3BFlow.EXSA.PRODUCTION?office=SWT&_cb=1780333374827' \
-H 'accept: application/json;version=2' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0' \
-H 'Pragma: no-cache'
Then I can post that response in dev ratings and it works.
