<p>I have some basic understanding of the Kepler/TESS mission. The missions both look at the stars and try to find the dip in the light from the stars to find possible existence of exoplanets (exomoons as well). I was trying to find the dataset. I found one URL to retrieve the datasets. The URL is given below.</p>

<p><a href="http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu:80/data/ETSS//Kepler/005/141/63/kplr010666592-2009131105131_llc.fits" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu:80/data/ETSS//Kepler/005/141/63/kplr010666592-2009131105131_llc.fits</a></p>

<p>But this URL contains the filename. But there should be several other files as well. To find the other files, I wanted to check the above URL without the filename (<a href="http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu:80/data/ETSS//Kepler/005/141/63/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu:80/data/ETSS//Kepler/005/141/63/</a>). But this URL shows error : "<strong>Forbidden</strong>
You don't have permission to access /data/ETSS//Kepler/005/141/63/ on this server."</p>

<p>I even created an user account in <a href="https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/</a> but still I am receiving the same error. Please assist me, how I can get the keplar data.</p>

<p>Also I found that the file mentioned above is very small only a few KB and after converting it to csv I found that it contains only less 2000 rows. But I know that it needs several hours of observation to find out that an exoplanet, that means the dataset cannot be such a small dataset. Please explain why the dataset is so small. Is it only a part of the dataset, in that case please let me know how to get the full dataset.</p>

Do you want processed data or raw data?  By processed i mean info like mass, position, size, etc...

It's usually a good idea to use the main page and follow links there instead of guessing URL; a search for "kepler telescope data" and "tess telescope data" quickly revealed these links:

Kepler: <https://keplerscience.arc.nasa.gov/data-products.html> which links for some data to <https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/index.html>

TESS: <https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/tess/data-access.html>

There no general access to derived data needed for a particular publication (though it's good practise and meanwhile becoming more common to offer that in supplementary online data).
