File search method

by jianke » Wed Sep 01, 2021 8:52 am America/New_York

Hi

I used the following command line to try to retieve the Modis aqua oc data list for the date of Aug 30th, 2021 to Aug 31st, 2021, but it came back nothing. I wonder what I did wrong.

wget -q --post-data="sensor=aqua&sdate=2021-08-30&edate=2021-08-31&dtype=L2&addurl=1&results_as_file=1&search=*LAC_OC*" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

Thanks,
Jianke

Remove the "-q" option and wget might show you something that will explain why it's not working for you...

Great, it works now. I am not sure if it was something on my side or on NASA's side. Thanks for the help, Alicia and Sean.
