how to connect with Google Earth Engine

[jome1]

Dear Community,

I want to connect to the Google Earth Engine via the python openeo API. The documentation is not detailed enough for this.

The Google Earth Engine implementation for openEO only supports Basic authentication. So you would use the following code for the connection:

import openeo

connection = openeo.connect("https://earthengine.openeo.org")
connection.authenticate_basic("username", "password")

Which username and password do I have to use?
The documentation refers to this link. There is a link to register for GEE. But then I only create a new cloud project with my google account.
Using my google mail address and my password in the code above for the connection does not work.

I know it is not production-ready. But since the documentation uses GEE as an example, I thought it might be worth a try.

Hey,

since recently you can also connect via OpenID Connect and then use your Google Account to login, but you'd need to get a client ID and client secret from Google first so that's a bit more cumbersome in Python. You can login to the Web Editor easily with your Google Account though: https://editor.openeo.org/?server=https%3A%2F%2Fearthengine.openeo.org

If you just want to test it quickly in Python, you can use our demo accounts.
Usernames are group1, group2, group3, etc. (Just choose one, there might be data from other users already as these credentials are public).
Password is test123.

Hope this helps.
