eeUtil 0.3.0

Python wrapper for easier data management on Google Earth Engine.

eeUtil

Wrapper for easier data management with Earth Engine python sdk

Requires account with access to Google Cloud Storage and Earth Engine.

import eeUtil

# initialize from environment variables
eeUtil.init(project='my-project', bucket='my-bucket')

# create image collection
eeUtil.createFolder('mycollection', imageCollection=True)

# upload image to collection
eeUtil.uploadAsset('image.tif', 'mycollection/myasset')
eeUtil.setAcl('mycollection', 'public')
eeUtil.ls('mycollection')

# export image to cloud storage and download
eeUtil.downloadAsset('mycollection/myasset')

Install

pip install eeUtil

Develop

git clone https://github.com/fgassert/eeUtil.git
cd eeUtil
pip install -e .

Nice things?

• More consistent python bindings
• Adds recursive copy, move, remove, setAcl, createFolder.
• GEE paths not starting with /, users/ projects/ are relative to your user root folder (users/<username> or projects/<project-id>/assets)
• upload and download stage files via Google Cloud Storage so you don't have to.

Usage

The easiest way to authorize eeUtil is using service account credentials. Once you create a service account and download your credentials.json set these in your environment.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/credentials.json

Initalize these credentials by calling eeUtil.init().

eeUtil.init()

If you don't provide credentials to eeUtil.init(), it defaults to reading from credentials from the environment, and attempts to read credentials as saved by earthengine authenticate for Earth Engine and gcloud auth application-default login for Google Cloud Storage.

eeUtil.init(service_account=GEE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT, 
            credential_path=GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, 
            project=GEE_PROJECT, 
            bucket=GEE_STAGING_BUCKET, 
            credential_json=GEE_JSON)

• service_account Service account name. For more information on GEE service accounts, see: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/service_account [default: GEE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT]
• credential_path Path to json file containing private key. This or credential_json is required for service accounts. [default: GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS]
• project Project to use for GEE and GCS bucket. [default: GEE_PROJECT or CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT]
• bucket Storage bucket for staging assets for ingestion. Will create new bucket if none provided. [default: GEE_STAGING_BUCKET]
• credential_json Pass json string as alternative to credential_path. [default: GEE_JSON]
