earthdata 0.3.0

Client library for NASA Earthdata APIs

earthdata 🌍

Client library for NASA CMR and EDL APIs

Overview

A Python library to search and access NASA datasets.

Installing earthdata

Install the latest release:

conda install -c conda-forge earthdata

Or you can clone earthdata and get started locally

# ensure you have Poetry installed
pip install --user poetry

# install all dependencies (including dev)
poetry install

# develop!

Example Usage

from earthdata import Auth, DataGranules, DataCollections, Store

auth = Auth().login(strategy="netrc") # if we want to access NASA DATA in the cloud

# To search for collecrtions (datasets)

DatasetQuery = DataCollections().keyword('MODIS').bounding_box(-26.85,62.65,-11.86,67.08)

counts = DatasetQuery.hits()
collections = DatasetQuery.get()


# To search for granules (data files)
GranuleQuery = DataGranules().concept_id('C1711961296-LPCLOUD').bounding_box(-10,20,10,50)

# number of granules (data files) that matched our criteria
counts = GranuleQuery.hits()
# We get the metadata
granules = GranuleQuery.get(10)

# earthdata provides some convenience functions for each data granule
data_links = [granule.data_links(access="direct") for granule in granules]

# or if the data is an on-prem dataset

data_links = [granule.data_links(access="onprem") for granule in granules]

# The Store class allows to get the granules from on-prem locations with get()
# NOTE: Some datasets require users to accept a Licence Agreement before accessing them
store = Store(auth)

# This works with both, on-prem or cloud based collections**
store.get(granules, local_path='./data')

# if you're in a AWS instance (us-west-2) you can use open() to get a fileset of S3 files!
fileset = store.open(granules)

# Given that this is gridded data (Level 3 or up) we could
xarray.open_mfdataset(fileset, combine='by_coords')

Only Python 3.8+ is supported.
