1. Select the environment you will be working in from the CMR environments table below. 

                                                          CMR Environments Table

CMR Environment

Base API URL (through ECHO)

Associated URS Environment

Operational (OPS)

https://api.echo.nasa.gov

https://urs.eosdis.nasa.gov

Systems Integration Test (SIT)

        2. On a terminal window execute the curl command for the environment you selected.

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> <provider>Provider Id</provider></token>" https://api.echo.nasa.gov/echo-rest/tokens

Note:

 

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:

<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>
  <provider>Provider Id</provider>
</token>

We used mytokengenerator.xml for the file name. Then, the full curl command looks a little bit different:

 

curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/xml" -d @mytokengenerator.xml https://api-test.echo.nasa.gov/echo-rest/tokens

Note:  if using a programming language, just place the curl example parts into the correct http message header or body locations.

 

Provided a successful response is received, an HTTP success status code of 200 is supplied with the response. Below is a sample response from the curl call - where the value in the ID tag is the token you will use as the value in the Echo-Token header:

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
<token>
  <id>75E5CEBE-6BBB-2FB5-A613-0368A361D0B6</id>
  <username>sample_username</username>
  <client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id>
  <user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address>
  <provider>Provider Id</provider>
</token>
