Earthdata Forum

As of June 1, we are not able to successfully access FIRMS data using our token. Receive a 401 now. I generated a new token from the EarthData dashboard which now starts with EDL-....., but that does not work. For my account I selected all of the FIRMS related services. How do I get permission to access this feed?

This is an example file that I am trying to retrieve: https://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov (/api/v2/content/archives/FIRMS/suomi-npp-viirs-c2/Southern_Africa/SUOMI_VIIRS_C2_Southern_Africa_VNP14IMGTDL_NRT_2021166.txt)

Hi - I had the same problem, and just found this alert:

Tokens generated from my Earthdata login profile did not work, but when I generated a new token here, it works:

Thanks so much Kathleen. I was able to generate a working token at the location you suggested. And it works in my API calls.
