Great!  Note that you can also use the file-search API from the command line (see https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/download_methods/) and then chain the wget commands so that the output of the file-search wget call becomes the input to the download wget call.  Basically the file-searc...

How about this.Add your user name and password to the ~/.netrc file first with,echo "machine urs.earthdata.nasa.gov login YOUR-USERNAME password YOUR-PASSWD" >> ~/.netrcIf not already set correctly, change mode with, chmod 600 ~/.netrcThen run,wget --load-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --save-cook...

Are you giving two -i options, one with list_files.txt and one with - (stdin)?  I can see that as being a conflict.  I don't think you need the --base and --force-html options.  Each record in the list_file.txt should have a complete URL.  If not, you can regenerate the file ...

Andre,

Have you tried using the file-search utility (https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search/) to obtain a file containing the URLs to the matching files and then giving that file to wget?

The checksums are for you to use on your end once you download a file.  You can generate a checksum (SHA1) and verify that it matches that received from the file-search call.Generally the file-search call you are using results in output that looks like this:ace2af707de98f8a2340b7a6a2f9a513cf1f2...

First, i think you want cksum=1 instead of cksums=1.  The API ignores cksums=1 (at least for me) and provides me with a list of files for the subscription when i use the URL in your post.Second, are you running this from a script?  From what i've seen of the Scheme missing error, it is...

This usually indicates that an HTML file was downloaded.  If you're on a Linux platform, you can try the 'file' command on the saved file.  If it is HTML, you should be able to view it with a text viewer or in a browser.  A lot of times this ends up being the Earthdata log...

How familiar are you with the binning and mapping processes we offer?  It seems like you could bin the L2 files and then generate a single daily map product for each of your regions.  The L2 files vary enough by time that trying to predict them would be difficult.  If you downloaded w...

I'm not sure i understand why there is a need to try to predict part of the file name when the file_search URL gives you the actual names of the files for the subscription.  Whether you get the names from the file_search or got lucky and predicted them, you would need to use the same URL to...

Eric,

If you just want the PNG files, you can add the search argument to the URL:

wget -O - "https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=3472&subType=2&results_as_file=1&search=A*.png"
