2. On a terminal window execute the curl command for the environment you selected.
Example
curl -X POST --header
"Content-Type: application/xml"
-d
"<token><username>sample_username</username><password>sample-password</password><client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id><user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address> </token>"

Note:
- Depending on the environment you selected, the Base API URL may be different from the example. If so, replace the purple text with the correct Base API URL.
- If you are embedding the token REST messages into a programming language, create an HTTP message and place the same components from the curl example into either the message header or body.
- If you have special characters in your password, you will probably need to escape them using a backslash.
If you don't want to escape any characters, but still want to use curl - implement the "file input" option to create a file that looks like the following:
Example
<token>
Note: mytokengenerator.xml can be used as a file name, which simplifies the command. See example underneath step 2 for original command and the example below for simplified command.
Example
curl -X POST --header
"Content-Type: application/xml"
-d
@mytokengenerator
.xml https://cmr.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/
