Restricted datasets
Some datasets in the repository cannot be downloaded without
authorization, because the upstream source unfortunately does not
permit open distribution. They are marked
“Restricted access” on their
page, and downloading their files fails with
a 401 Unauthorized error. Access can be granted with
an authorization token:
-
Request a token
If you need access to these datasets, fill in the form below. You will receive an email with a link to verify your address. Each request is then reviewed before it is approved, based on the information you provide; once approved, the token is sent to you by email.
-
Send it with each download
Pass the token in the
WWW-AuthenticateHTTP request header, replacing<TOKEN>with the actual token string:WWW-Authenticate: <TOKEN>
For example, with curl:
curl --header "WWW-Authenticate: <TOKEN>" \ https://networks.skewed.de/net/add_health/files/comm26.gt.zst > comm26.gt.zst
-
Or let graph-tool send it
If you access the repository via graph-tool, store the token in a file named
.gt_tokenin your home directory:~/.gt_token
