Description	On June 30, we will be expiring any LAADS and NRT download tokens generated before July of 2021. Any download token generated before July of 2021 and used for "Authorization: Bearer ..." in HTTP headers (including scripts, and curl and wget commands) will become invalid across all our sites and will no longer work after June 30. Users are advised to generate a new token and replace their current token. Please do this before Friday, June 30, 2023. To generate a new token, login to either the LAADS DAAC site https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ or any of the NRT sites https://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ and select "Profiles->Login" if not already logged in. Then select "Generate Token" or "Download Tokens", copy the new token, and use. You can also renew the token programmatically using your existing token: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/oauth/key The return text will be a new token. Please note that this change will not affect any interactive logins via web browsers, and will not affect any Earthdata, LAADS, or NRT tokens generated after July 2021.
