  • echoCollectionId (this narrows the results to a single collection, only used as an example)

If you need support of another CMR query parameter, please contact us.

https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/site/search_api_docs.html

This will appear verbatim where the word "Search" is in the top-left of the site toolbar and will appear in various other places as "Example Portal" when referring to the portal. If omitted, a capitalized version of the portal ID will be used, i.e. "Example."

Advanced Configuration

Portals allow authors to provide SASS styles and JavaScript to run on each page within the portal. These can be useful for altering the page style, hiding unnecessary features, or adding new features that do not make sense for inclusion in Earthdata Search. You can do essentially anything that can be done with Javascript or SASS.
