Fuck :russia:

pyNASAFIRMS is a wrapper for NASA's FIRMS API. Covers all the endpoints that FIRMS supports as of 08/22/2022.

Requirements

This requires Python >= 3.7. In reality it likely works on more but this is what it was developed with.

Packages required:

• requests

Quick Start

First off, you NEED to get a 'map key' from NASA to query the API: Get it here.

At the bottom of the page, theres a 'Map Key' section. Click the 'Get MAP_KEY' button.

Once you have a map key, you can set an environment variable FIRMS_MAP_KEY to equal the map key provided by NASA. Otherwise, you can pass a map key to the NasaFirms object via the NasaFirms.map_key attribute.

import pynasafirms
client = pynasafirms.NasaFirms(map_key='xxxxxxxxxx')
resp = client.get_country_modis_nrt('UKR')
print(resp[0].longitude)
....

The above code queries the FIRMS 'country' endpoint with the country code 'UKR' (Ukraine) and the MODIS_NRT sensor. It also has a default parameter for the 'start_date' to be queried. If a date isn't specified, the current local date is used in YYYY-MM-DD and passed to the endpoint. The 'days' defaults 1 unless specified. The FIRMS endpoints only allow for up to 10 days, but this isn't enforced in the wrapper(yet). After the query returns, a list of 'Country' objects are returned.
