401 Error Code, Using R and GET()

[rishi.kowalski]

Hello,

I am trying to access NLDAS data via GDS as ASCII text. I've generated a series or URLs to call within R's httr::GET() function (see example below). I've confirmed the urls return data in browser, and was able to authenticate via my browser to view the data, however when I try to automate accessing these data in R, I'm getting a Status 401, Access Denied error from the server. I've reauthorized my token in my account and am using the following code to access the data:

GET("https://hydro1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/dods/NLDAS_FORA0125_H.2.0.ascii?wind_e[271739:276739][33][354]", authenticate(key_get("nldas-credential-user"), key_get("nldas-credential-pass"))

This process has worked for me in the past, so I'm wondering what I need to do to authenticate - do I need to incorporate my token to the call somehow?

Relevant Info:
R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS 15.2
httr_1.4.7
curl_6.0.1
RNetCDF_2.9-2

Hi,

I mistakenly posted to the forum twice, with more detail in the second post. Didn't figure out how to delete the original as I'm a new forum user, so feel free to delete if necessary! Thanks!
