Python API

You can also use earthcare-downloader as a Python library:

from earthcare_downloader import search, download

urls = search(product="CPR_TC__2A", lat=61.844, lon=24.287, distance=5)
paths = download(urls, output_path="data/", unzip=True)

When working in notebooks, use the asynchronous versions of these functions:

from earthcare_downloader.aio import search, download

urls = await search(product="CPR_TC__2A", lat=61.844, lon=24.287, distance=5)
paths = await download(urls, output_path="data/", unzip=True, disable_progress=True)
