API Proxy
The https://data.oceannetworks.ca/apiproxy/dataProducts URL link in the above examples can be used in a browser for sharing or testing purposes; however, it can not be accessed from code. Calls to the apiproxy server are redirected to a login screen to capture your user id. Accessing the apiproxy URL from code will return html in the payload, which may cause errors or unexpected behaviour. In order to use the dataProducts endpoint from code, you must use the https://data.oceannetworks.ca/api/dataProducts URL along with a valid token.
