EarthDaily Python Client

The EarthDaily Python Client is a comprehensive library for interacting with the EarthDaily Analytics platform. It provides seamless access to satellite data, STAC item management, and platform APIs through a unified interface.

🚀 Key Features

• Platform API Access: Full integration with EarthDaily platform services
• STAC Item Management: Complete CRUD operations for STAC items
• Datacube Module: Modern, self-contained datacube creation and manipulation
• Modern Architecture: Streamlined client design with comprehensive error handling
• Flexible Installation: Modular installation options for different use cases

📦 Installation

Supported Python Versions: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14

Basic Installation

pip install earthdaily

Recommended Installation (Platform Features)

pip install "earthdaily[platform]"

Datacube Support

pip install "earthdaily[datacube]"

Full Installation (All Features)

pip install "earthdaily[platform,datacube]"

Full Installation with utils (for .env file and Jupyter notebooks)

pip install "earthdaily[platform,datacube,utils]"

Looking for v1/legacy functionality? The legacy module (client.legacy) was removed in v2.0.0. If you need legacy datacube features, pin to v1.x.x (earthdaily<2.0.0). The v1.x.x line will continue to receive security and critical bug fixes only.

Environment Setup

The EarthPlatform STAC API is protected by bearer authentication. A bearer token is generated using OAuth Client Credentials Flow. The required client_id, client_secret, and access_token_url values can be found on the Account Management Console.

Getting Your Credentials

1. Go to the Account Management Console
2. Click the Provision New API Credentials button to generate your API credentials
3. Copy the generated client_secret value — this will be your EDS_SECRET

For more details, see the API Authentication Guide.

Configure Your Environment

Create a .env file in your project root with your credentials:

# .env
EDS_CLIENT_ID=EARTHDAILY_API_TOKEN
EDS_SECRET=<Go to Account Management Console, click Provision New API Credentials, copy the client_secret>
EDS_AUTH_URL=https://api.earthdaily.com/account_management/v1/authentication/api_tokens/exchange
EDS_API_URL=https://api.earthdaily.com

Note: To use .env files and Jupyter notebooks, install with the utils extra:

pip install "earthdaily[utils]"

🏃 Quick Start

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from earthdaily import EDSClient, EDSConfig

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv(".env")

# Initialize client
config = EDSConfig()
client = EDSClient(config)

Alternative Configuration

# Direct configuration (without .env file)
config = EDSConfig(
    client_id="EARTHDAILY_API_TOKEN",
    client_secret="<Go to Account Management Console, click Provision New API Credentials, copy the client_secret>",
    token_url="https://api.earthdaily.com/account_management/v1/authentication/api_tokens/exchange",
    base_url="https://api.earthdaily.com"
)
client = EDSClient(config)

Advanced Configuration Options

The EDSConfig class supports additional configuration options for customizing client behavior:

config = EDSConfig(
    # ... authentication parameters ...
    
    # HTTP retry configuration
    max_retries=5,                    # Maximum retry attempts (default: 3)
    retry_backoff_factor=2.0,         # Exponential backoff factor (default: 1.0)
    
    # Asset access mode
    asset_access_mode="presigned-urls"  # "presigned-urls", "proxy-urls", or "raw"
)

Retry Configuration

• max_retries: Maximum number of retry attempts
• retry_backoff_factor: Backoff factor for retry delays

Examples:

• retry_backoff_factor=1.0: Delays of 1s, 2s, 4s
• retry_backoff_factor=0.5: Delays of 0.5s, 1s, 2s
• retry_backoff_factor=2.0: Delays of 2s, 4s, 8s

🍪 Proxy Asset URLs And Cookie File

When asset_access_mode="proxy-urls", assets are served through authenticated proxy URLs. GDAL/rasterio cannot send the EDS bearer token, so the client can fetch a short-lived asset cookie and write it to a Netscape-format file that you pass through GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE.

Enable the feature on EDSConfig and ask the client for a cookie file. You must provide path explicitly so the credential-like file does not end up in an unexpected location (for example, committed to a repository):

import rasterio
from earthdaily import EDSClient, EDSConfig

config = EDSConfig(
    asset_access_mode="proxy-urls",
    platform_cookie_enabled=True,
    platform_cookie_auto_refresh=True,
)

with EDSClient(config) as client:
    cookie_file = client.get_platform_cookie_file(
        path="/tmp/earthdaily-platform-cookies.txt"
    )

    with rasterio.Env(GDAL_HTTP_COOKIEFILE=str(cookie_file)):
        ...  # e.g. odc.stac.stac_load(...), rasterio.open(...)

• platform_cookie_auto_refresh=True starts a background daemon thread that refreshes the cookie file in place before it expires.
• EDSClient.close() (called automatically by the with statement) stops the refresh thread and deletes the cookie file.
• The parent directory of path must already exist; the client never creates directories for you.

See the EarthMosaics notebook for a full example.

🌍 Core Features

Platform API Integration

Search for satellite data using STAC:

# Search for Sentinel-2 data
search_result = client.platform.pystac_client.search(
    collections=["sentinel-2-l2a"],
    datetime="2024-06-01T00:00:00Z/2024-08-01T00:00:00Z",
    max_items=10
)
items = list(search_result.items())

STAC Item Management

Create and manage STAC items:

# Create a new STAC item
stac_item = {
    "type": "Feature",
    "stac_version": "1.0.0",
    "id": "example-item-123",
    "collection": "your-collection",
    "geometry": {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [-67.7, -37.8]},
