Bulk download L3 Terra MODIS data

by leon_c » Mon Feb 23, 2026 8:12 am America/New_York

Hi all!

How do I go about downloading multiple files of L3 Terra MODIS?
After using L3&4 browser and clicking on the donwload button, I'm provided with a list of 300ish URLs.
I'm trying to download these files using https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/data-recipes/bulk-data-download-using-python-script-csv-metalink-file , but I'm getting size-related errors.

Is there a way to automate downloading the listed files? Thanks :D
