CDSE

‘Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem’ API Wrapper

This package provides the interface to the ‘Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem’ API, mainly for searching the catalogue of available data from Copernicus Sentinel missions and obtaining the images for just the area of interest based on selected spectral bands. The package uses the ‘Sentinel Hub’ RESTful API interface to access various satellite imagery archives. It allows you to access raw satellite data, rendered images, statistical analysis, and other features.

This package is in no way officially related to or endorsed by Copernicus.
