No MODIS fills for my MODIS subscriptions

May 22 was the last day that my MODIS subscriptions 2380, 2381, 2382 received files. I run cronjobs to fetch files using commands like:
wget -q -O - 'https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=2380&backdays=2&subType=1&format=txt&search=MOD00.P2026149*'
wget -q -O - 'https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=2381&backdays=2&subType=1&format=txt&search=MOD00.P2026149*'
wget -q -O - 'https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=2382&backdays=2&subType=1&format=txt&search=MOD00.P2026149*'

I also can not see files going through the File Search web interface.

Hi Steve,

Is this still and issue? From my end, it doesn't look like there's a gap any longer, maybe because our syncing process caught up. For example, the URL https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=2380&backdays=11&subType=1&format=txt appears to return 64 files, and at least one for each day. (Small note: I removed the "&search" parameter from that URL, because it limits the results to one day of data based on the filenames. If the cron job isn't grabbing back far enough in time, that might be contributing to it)

If you prefer wget, that's:

wget -q -O - 'https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search?subID=2380&backdays=11&subType=1&format=txt'

Let me know if this is still not working for you
