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...

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"

So for this subscription, you would use something like this to retrieve the list of files that have matched for the subscription.  Each entry returned will have the URL required to download the file.  So there is no need to try to predict any file names.  For your other subscriptions,...

Hi.  Can you provide a subscription ID and whether it is extracted or not?
