Question

I met issues while bulk downloading Alos Palsar DEMs from https://search.asf.alaska.edu The error comes out when I run a script.py which contains my downloads:

Does any one has an idea how to fix it? Literature on this issue seems very rare.

Thanks

Answer 1

Before downloading ASF data, please carefully check everything below:

1. Verify your email address by clicking on the link NASA sent you.
2. go to https://search.asf.alaska.edu and login to agree EULAs.
3. go to https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/users/new to agree EULA. Wait for 5 minutes, and the server will refresh the status of your account and give your account permission to download data. Reference is here:How do I download ASF data?

Answer 2

I had this problem too, but I was able to download it using admin mode. For example, open VS(visual studio) in admin mode, or open cmd in adm mode.

Answer 3

I had the same error. So, I found this answer. Adding this line before de, worked

ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

Also, you need to put the .csv file generate at https://search.asf.alaska.edu at the end.
