Prefect integrations with NASA Earthdata, taking advantage of the earthaccess library.

Getting started

prefect-earthdata provides a Prefect credentials block and a few tasks to interact with NASA Earthdata. It does so by leveraging the earthaccess library and its API.

Loading the EarthdataCredentials block with your credentials, corresponds to calling the earthaccess.login() function.

After that, all other earthaccess functions can be directly used, without having to login again.

Nevertheless, a few tasks are provided to help taking full advantage of Prefect's observability features.

Search and download on NASA Earthdata

from prefect import flow, get_run_logger

from prefect_earthdata.credentials import EarthdataCredentials
from prefect_earthdata.tasks import download, search_data


@flow(log_prints=True)
def example_earthdata_download_flow():

    logger = get_run_logger()

    earthdata_credentials = EarthdataCredentials.load("earthdata-credentials")

    granules = search_data(
        earthdata_credentials,
        count=1,
        short_name="ATL08",
        bounding_box=(-92.86, 16.26, -91.58, 16.97),
    )

    logger.info(f"File URL: {granules[0].data_links()[0]}")

    download_path = "/tmp"

    logger.info(f"Downloading data to {download_path}")
    files = download(
        credentials=earthdata_credentials,
        granules=granules,
        local_path=download_path,
    )
    logger.info(f"Downloaded files: {files}")

    return granules, files
