The curl version of the authentication syntax is (replacing COOKIEFILE, YOURUSERID and YOURPASSWORD):Ĭurl -k -c COOKIEFILE -X POST -d username=YOURUSERID -d password=YOURPASSWORD -L Īnd the asynchronous command syntax is given below: The same method works for data to a tgz file:

To write that metadata to a file, add -output to the command, taking care to match up the filename extension to the file format requested, i.e., in this case. To print metadata results to screen, simply put the request in double quotes and put curl on the front: It also doesn't have a default timeout, like wget.
#Wget alternative download#
Wget -O myDataRequest.tgz -load-cookies cookies.txt ""Ĭurl is an alternative to wget, which can download files from HTTP requests, but can also print the results of a metadata request to the screen, which can be handy for quick queries. Once the request has been made, an email will be sent to the registered address with a link to the data itself.įor more information on using scripted access to this data link, see the Asynchronous Data Requests page.Ĭheck the job using the URL in the field, e.g.,:Īnd once the phase is COMPLETED, the data is downloadable from the URL in the field, e.g.,: Wget -load-cookies cookies.txt "" -O request_response.xml Once you have the cookie file, then you can make your asynchronous request using this cookie file and adding RETRIEVAL_ACCESS=DEFERRED, for example:
#Wget alternative password#
Note that if your password contains special characters, you might need to replace those characters with the URL encoded equivalent, e.g., replace & with %26 Wget -keep-session-cookies -save-cookies COOKIEFILE -post-data 'username=YOURUSERID&password=YOURPASSWORD' "" Use the following syntax replacing COOKIEFILE with your preferred path and filename, and YOURUSERID and YOURPASSWORD appropriately:

In this case, it's safer to use an asynchronous request as detailed below.Īsynchronous requests require a login ( register if you don't have a login) and for wget this means obtaining a cookie file. Note that wget has a default timeout of 900 seconds (15 minutes) and so if the request is complex, it's possible that it may timeout. Wget -O myMetadataRequest.csv "'%25Electric_Field%25'" While a metadata request will return the format requested: The -O (O for Oscar) option will name the file with the extension you give it, so take care that the extension is the correct one.įor example, a data request will return a. The content disposition option will give it an appropriate name and extension. Put it in double quotes (make sure 'smart quotes' are not enabled)Īdd one of the following to the beginning: Take the https form of the request (data doesn't change, but metadata requests need URL encoding - see metadata page) Wget and curl are used to put a request directly on the command line WGET WGET and CURL - Direct command line tools
