Below I have included a Python 3.6 sample script for downloading files from the PDS Geosciences Node. The sample includes a configuration for downloading data files from both a PDS Geosciences Node archive and files from an Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) cart request. The script supports multiple levels of sub directories, as well. The script includes variables that should be set by the user for his or her environment. The example PDS data set and ODE cart request both exist, and they are available for test executions of the script. Python 3.6 is required for the script to function. This script is also available for download in the downloads section of the forum. # PDSGeosciencesNode_FileDownload.py # Dan Scholes 2/19/18 # Pypthon 3.6 compatible version # Example of downloading data files using # links from HTTP PDS Geosciences Node Data Archive # or Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) Cart location # Note: One drawback of this script is that it downloads one file at a time, rather than multiple streams. # Additional Note: In the future, changes to the PDS Geosciences Node website and Orbital Data Explorer website may cause this example to no longer function. # Disclaimer: This sample code is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
