Hello,

I'm trying to download some data from PO.DAAC using a token that I generated in the user interface by adding an Authorization header to the request, but it is giving me an 401 authorization error.

Does anybody know of a good example of how to do this? I see some examples in a tutorial about authorizing using a Cookie store and the user name and password, but I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks,
Joe Hellmers

Dear Joe,

Thank you for your inquiry.

There is a good example of obtaining the Earthdata authentication, e. g. podaac-data-subscriber. You could find the script resource from https://github.com/podaac/data-subscriber. Actually, We strongly recommend the users to use this script to download/subscriber the datasets from Earthdata cloud. The https://podaac-test.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/CMC0.2deg-CMC-L4-GLOB-v2.0 data landing page provides the download exapmle under Data Access page. Please let us know if you have more questions.

Best Regards,

Thanks Wenhao!

That example uses urllib. I'm wondering if there is an example using urllib3.
