This packages is formatted according to pycodestyle. You can check it by calling:

python3 -m pycodestyle

Our tip is to install autopep8 and use it to format the code.

Lints

Our CI automatically checks for lint errors. We use pylint to check the code. You can check it by calling:

python3 -m pylint geoengine
python3 -m pylint tests

Our tip is to activate linting with pylint in your IDE.

Try it out

Start a python terminal and try it out:

import geoengine as ge
from datetime import datetime

ge.initialize("https://nightly.peter.geoengine.io/api")

time = datetime.strptime('2014-04-01T12:00:00.000Z', "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")

workflow = ge.workflow_by_id('4cdf1ffe-cb67-5de2-a1f3-3357ae0112bd')

print(workflow.get_result_descriptor())

workflow.get_dataframe(ge.Bbox([-60.0, 5.0, 61.0, 6.0], [time, time]))

Authentication

If the Geo Engine server requires authentication, you can set your credentials in the following ways:

1. in the initialize method: ge.initialize("https://nightly.peter.geoengine.io/api", ("email", "password"))
2. as environment variables export GEOENGINE_EMAIL="email" and export GEOENGINE_PASSWORD="password"
3. in a .env file in the current working directory with the content:

GEOENGINE_EMAIL="email"
