1. Inform your AWS Account: In order to access the BDSP data you need to have a AWS account and inform your Amazon ID on your profile settings here. Do not enter the dashes, only numbers.

• If you donʼt have an AWS ID already may need to create one here. 
• The Amazon ID is shown when you click the account ID on the top right of the webpage

2. Create your AWS Access Key: You need an AWS Access Key to interact with the BDSP data. If you don't have one, you can follow these steps to create one: Create access key.

• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the AWS account you are creating your AWS Access Keys is the same one you provided on your BDSP profile.

3. Download the AWS CLI: Now you need to download and install the latest version of the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface). You can find instructions to download and install here.

$ aws configure

AWS Access key ID: <<enter your access key>>
AWS Secret Access Key: <<enter your secret access key>>

Each project has its own AWS Access Point where the data is located. After you sign the Data User Agreement (DUA), you will see at the bottom of the project a link to Request access to the data.

Listing Data from Access Point:

1. To access data from access point just type: aws s3 ls <access_point> you are going to see list of directories available from specific access point.

# List Folders:
$ aws s3 ls s3://<<accesspointname>>/<<project_folder>>

# Copy a file:
$ aws s3 cp s3://<<accesspointname>>/<<project_folder>>/<<file_name>> /<<your_local_path>>/

# Copy a folder:
$ $ aws s3 cp s3://<<accesspointname>>/<<project_folder>> /<<your_local_path>> --recursive

---

Access Point Format:

s3://arn:aws:s3:us-east-1:184438910517:accesspoint/<<project-name>>/<<project-folder>>/

You can find the access point name at the bottom of the project after you sign the DUA.
