geeup: Simple CLI for Earth Engine Uploads with Selenium Support

Twitter URL

DOI PyPI version PyPI - Downloads License CI geeup

This tool came of the simple need to handle batch uploads of both image assets to collections but also thanks to the new table feature the possibility of batch uploading shapefiles into a folder. Though a lot of these tools including batch image uploader is part of my other project geeadd which also includes additional features to add to the python CLI, this tool was designed to be minimal so as to allow the user to simply query their quota, upload images or tables and also to query ongoing tasks and delete assets. I am hoping this tool with a simple objective proves useful to a few users of Google Earth Engine.

Installation

This assumes that you have native python & pip installed in your system, you can test this by going to the terminal (or windows command prompt) and trying

python and then pip list

geeup now only support Python v3.4 or higher from geeup version 0.3.3

This command line tool is dependent on functionality from GDAL For installing GDAL in Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
sudo apt-get install python-gdal

Windows Setup

Shapely and a few other libraries are notoriously difficult to install on windows machines so follow the steps mentioned here before installing porder. You can download and install shapely and other libraries from the Unofficial Wheel files from here download depending on the python version you have. Do this only once you have install GDAL. I would recommend the steps mentioned above to get the GDAL properly installed. However I am including instructions to using a precompiled version of GDAL similar to the other libraries on windows. You can test to see if you have gdal by simply running

gdalinfo

in your command prompt. If you get a read out and not an error message you are good to go. If you don't have gdal try Option 1,2 or 3 in that order and that will install gdal along with the other libraries

Option 1:

Starting from geeup v0.3.4 onwards:

Simply run geeup -h after installation. This should go fetch the extra libraries you need and install them. Once installation is complete, the porder help page will show up. This should save you from the few steps below.

Option 2:

If this does not work or you get an unexpected error try the following commands. You can also use these commands if you simply want to update these libraries.

pipwin refresh
pipwin install gdal

Option 3

For Windows I also found this guide from UCLA

Also for Ubuntu Linux I saw that this is necessary before the install

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev

This also needs earthengine cli to be installed and authenticated on your system and earthengine to be callable in your command line or terminal

To install geeup: Simple CLI for Earth Engine Uploads you can install using two methods.

pip install geeup

or you can also try

git clone https://github.com/samapriya/geeup.git
cd geeup
python setup.py install

For Linux use sudo or try pip install geeup --user.

I recommend installation within a virtual environment. Find more information on creating virtual environments here.

GEE authenticate

This tool assumes that you have a Google Earth Engine account. The earthengine command line tool needs to be authenticated using a Google account.

earthengine authenticate

or in a terminal you can also use

earthengine authenticate --quiet

Getting started

As usual, to print help:

geeup_main

To obtain help for specific functionality, simply call it with help switch, e.g.: geeup zipshape -h. If you didn't install geeup, then you can run it just by going to geeup directory and running python geeup.py [arguments go here]

geeup Simple CLI for Earth Engine Uploads

The tool is designed to handle batch uploading of images and tables(shapefiles). While there are image collection where you can batch upload imagery, for vector or shapefiles you have to batch upload them to a folder.

geeup init

This is a key step only if you are going to use selenium method to upload imagery instead of the cookies approach added since v0.4.6. All versions before 0.4.6 requires this step, since all upload function depends on it, so make sure you run this. This downloads selenium driver and places to your local directory for windows and Linux subsystems. This is the first step to use selenium supported upload.

geeup init

geeup_init

geeup selsetup

Once in a while the geckodriver/selenium requires manual input before signing into the google earth engine, this tool will allow you to interact with the initialization of Google Earth Engine code editor window. It allows the user to specify the account they want to use, and should only be needed once.

geeup selsetup

geeup_selsetup

geeup Quota

Just a simple tool to print your earth engine quota quickly. Since Google Earth Engine also allows you to use Cloud Projects instead of the standard legacy folders, this tool now has the option to pass the project path (usually projects/project-name/assets/)

geeup_quota

usage: geeup quota [-h] [--project PROJECT]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit

Optional named arguments:
  --project PROJECT  Project Name usually in format projects/project-
                     name/assets/

geeup Zipshape

So here's how table upload in Google Earth Engine works, you can either upload the component files shp, shx, prj and dbf or you can zip these files together and upload it as a single file. The pros for this is that it reduces the overall size of the shapefile after zipping them along, this tool looks for the shp file and finds the subsidiary files and zips them ready for upload. It also helps when you have limited upload bandwidth. Cons you have to create a replicate structure of the file system, but it saves on bandwidth and auto-arranges your files so you don't have to look for each additional file.

geeup_zipshape

usage: geeup zipshape [-h] --input INPUT --output OUTPUT

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --input INPUT    Path to the input directory with all shape files
  --output OUTPUT  Destination folder Full path where shp, shx, prj and dbf
                   files if present in input will be zipped and stored

geeup getmeta

This script generates a generalized metadata using information parsed from gdalinfo and metadata properties. For now it generates metadata with image name, x and y dimension of images and the number of bands.

geeup_getmeta

usage: geeup getmeta [-h] --input INPUT --metadata METADATA

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --input INPUT        Path to the input directory with all raster files
  --metadata METADATA  Full path to export metadata.csv file

Setting up Cookies

This method was added since v0.4.6 and uses a third party chrome extension to simply code all cookies. The chrome extension is simply the first one I found and is no way related to the project and as such I do not extend any support or warranty for it.

The chrome extension I am using is called Copy Cookies and you can find it here

It does exactly one thing, copies cookies over and in this case we are copying over the cookies after logging into code.earthengine.google

cookie_copy

Import things to Note

  • Open a brand new incognito or a browser window while you are copying cookies, if you have multiple GEE accounts open on the same browser the cookies being copied may create some read issues at GEE end.
  • Clear cookies and make sure you are copying cookies from code.earthengine.google in a fresh browser instance if upload fails with a Unable to read error.
  • Make sure you save the cookie for the same account which you initiliazed using earthengine authenticate

To run cookie_setup and to parse and save cookie user

geeup cookie_setup
  • For Bash the cannonical mode will allow you to only paste upto 4095 characters and as such geeup cookie_setup might seem to fail for this use the following steps

  • Disable cannonical mode by typing stty -icanon in terminal

  • Then run geeup cookie_setup

  • Once done reenable cannonical mode by typing stty icanon in terminal

Since cookies generated here are post login, theoretically it should work on accounts even with two factor auth or university based Single Sign on GEE accounts but might need further testing

geeup upload

The script creates an Image Collection from GeoTIFFs in your local directory. By default, the image name in the collection is the same as the local directory name. The upload tool now allows the user to copy cookie list from your browser and bypass selenium based authentication. It saves the cookie temporarily and uses it automatically till it expires when it asks you for cookie list again. Just use the --method cookies argument.

usage: geeup upload [-h] --source SOURCE --dest DEST -m METADATA
                    [--nodata NODATA] [-u USER] [--method METHOD]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --source SOURCE       Path to the directory with images for upload.
  --dest DEST           Destination. Full path for upload to Google Earth
                        Engine, e.g. users/pinkiepie/myponycollection
  -m METADATA, --metadata METADATA
                        Path to CSV with metadata.
  -u USER, --user USER  Google account name (gmail address).
  --method METHOD       Choose method <cookies> to use cookies to authenticate

Optional named arguments:
  --nodata NODATA       The value to burn into the raster as NoData (missing
                        data)

geeup tabup

This tool allows you to batch download tables/shapefiles to a folder. It uses a modified version of the image upload and a wrapper around the earthengine upload cli to achieve this while creating folders if they don't exist and reporting on assets and checking on uploads. This only requires a source, destination and your ee authenticated email address. This tool also uses selenium to upload the tables. The table upload tool now allows the user to copy cookie list from your browser and bypass selenium based authentication. It saves the cookie temporarily and uses it automatically till it expires when it asks you for cookie list again. Just use the --method cookies argument.

usage: geeup tabup [-h] --source SOURCE --dest DEST [-u USER]
                   [--method METHOD]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --source SOURCE       Path to the directory with zipped folder for upload.
  --dest DEST           Destination. Full path for upload to Google Earth
                        Engine, e.g. users/pinkiepie/myponycollection
  -u USER, --user USER  Google account name (gmail address).
  --method METHOD       Choose method <cookies> to use cookies to authenticate

geeup tasks

This script counts all currently running, ready, completed, failed and canceled tasks along with failed tasks. This tool is linked to your google earth engine account with which you initialized the earth engine client. This takes no argument.

usage: geeup tasks [-h]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

geeup delete

The delete is recursive, meaning it will also delete all children assets: images, collections, and folders. Use with caution!

usage: geeup delete [-h] id

positional arguments:
  id          Full path to asset for deletion. Recursively removes all
              folders, collections and images.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
