Data download errors

by gregoryd » Fri May 09, 2025 3:16 am America/New_York

Hi
We are downloading VIIRS data using URLs like https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/api/area/csv/<key>/VIIRS_NOAA20_NRT/world/2

It worked fine until recently, but since May 7 we are getting much more errors - see the attached chart. Was there any change on your side around this time?

Thanks!

Hi,

As far as I am aware there is nothing wrong with our system. I can try my best to assist though. In the picture attached what are you showing on the Y-axis? Also what kind of system are you pulling this data in through?

Thanks,

Thanks, Dylan! The problem disappeared after a couple of days, so things are back to normal now.

Sounds good. You can also reach out via the feedback module on the FIRMS website to get in contact with us easier in the future. Thank you for the interest in FIRMS data as well!
