Why earthaccess

During several workshops organized by NASA Openscapes, the need to provide easy-to-use tools to our users became evident. Open science is a collaborative effort; it involves people from different technical backgrounds, and the data analysis to solve the pressing problems we face cannot be limited by the complexity of the underlying systems. Therefore, providing easy access to NASA Earthdata regardless of the data storage location (hosted within or outside of the cloud) is the main motivation behind this Python library.

How to Get Started with earthaccess

How to install

To install earthaccess go to your terminal and install it using pip:

pip install earthaccess

How to access NASA Earth Science data

With earthaccess, data is 3 steps away!

import earthaccess

# 1. Login
earthaccess.login()

# 2. Search
results = earthaccess.search_data(
    short_name='ATL06',  # ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land Ice Height
    bounding_box=(-10, 20, 10, 50),  # Only include files in area of interest...
    temporal=("1999-02", "2019-03"),  # ...and time period of interest.
    count=10
)

# 3. Access
files = earthaccess.download(results, "/tmp/my-download-folder")
