Earthdata Forum

Hi,

I have been attempting to follow the code from https://cornelllabofornithology.github.io/ebird-best-practices/covariates.html to download MODIS data in R Studio. I have used 'MODIS::EarthdataLogin(usr = "my user", pwd = "my pass"). When I attempt to run the code to download the data, I get the same error ' Earthdata Login credentials could not be verified.'

Any ideas on what could be causing this? It is the correct user and password as it works when I run different code.

Thanks!

Hi @kelseyfreitag Thank you for reporting that. We'll take a look to see if we can figure out what is going on. We'll report back when we have more information. Thanks - Danielle

Hello @kelseyfreitag ,
Thank you for reporting this issue. I'd encourage you to submit an Earthdata Search user issue message using the "feedback" button on the upper right-hand corner of the Earthdata Search homepage (https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search). This will make it easier to track the issue. In your message, please include the following elements:

-Earthdata Search username

I'm having the same problem. Tried two laptops but no luck.

I have the same issue, the authentication fails with valid username and password.

@calvus17 and @teejay21111 If you haven't already done so, please make sure you follow @Earthdata Search - kaewal01's advice above and submit the issue to the Earthdata Search team using the "feedback" button on Earthdata Search (https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search), located on the top right of the page, so their team can keep track of the issues users are seeing to help them learn more to resolve the issue.

Similar issue here too.

As a related issue, the R package used within the original post (httr) and also the same package used in your R authentication example code is now obsolete and replaced with new httr2 R package.

I'm requesting a sample code update how to access the data with R, but with HTTR2-package instead of HTTR.

Old sample code:
