Fetchez
Fetch geospatial data with ease.
Fetchez is a lightweight, modular, and highly extendable Python framework designed to orchestrate geospatial data engineering workflows.
Originally developed as the core fetching engine for the CUDEM project, Fetchez has evolved into a standalone ETL platform. It seamlessly retrieves Bathymetry, Topography, Imagery, and Oceanographic data from dozens of global repositories (NOAA, USGS, Copernicus, ESA) and processes it on the fly.
📦 Installation
pip install fetchez
Optional Extensions: To enable module specific library dependencies, install with the desired extras:
pip install fetchez[full]
🐄 Quickstart
Fetch Copernicus topography and NOAA multibeam bathymetry for a specific bounding box in one command:
CLI
fetchez run -R loc:"Miami, FL" --global-hook audit copernicus multibeam
Or run a full processing pipeline from a YAML recipe:
fetchez recipes run recipes/my_dem_project.yaml
Python
import fetchez
# Fetch Electronic Nautical Chart data from NOAA
files = fetchez.get("charts", region=[-120, -118, 33, 34], hooks=['unzip', 'filename_filter:match=.000', 'audit'])
DEM Building with Globato
While Fetchez handles the data retrieval and point-streaming, its sister project Globato provides the multi_stack accumulators and multi-resolution interpolation engines needed to turn those streams into production-grade Digital Elevation Models. Check it out!
