Random scripts for interacting with Discover
Download 15cm Hexagon imagery with your own quadword.
Builds the proper download links based on a bounding rectangle, downloads the zip files, and then extracts them to a specified folder.
Because each tile's zip file is generated on the fly, this will take a while (hours+ depending on your area). Plan accordingly, and set your area judiciously. The script will estimate the time remaining based on the average time previous tiles have taken.
Requires Python 3.7+
Modify the following variables around line 100:
quad-word: The quad-word from your discover links (four words separated by-s).out_dirandunzip_dir: Where the downloaded files will be saved and then extracted to.min/max x/y: min x/y is the top left corner, max x/y is bottom right.
To get the min/max x/y, open your Web Viewer and Downloads link, select Hexagon Downloads, and zoom in until you can see the individual tiles. Choose a spot to be your top left and click on the tile. Hover over the "Download" link to see the x and y in the link (or right click > Copy Link Address and paste it in a text editor). The format is .../15/x/y. For example, https://discover.agrc.utah.gov/login/path/your-quad-word-here/footprint/15cm_hexagon_utah/hx/15/6203/12356 has an x value of 6203 and a y value of 12356. These become your min x/y. Do the same for the bottom right corner to get your max x/y.
Once you've got the right coordinates, save the file and run the script:
python c:\path\to\where\you\downloaded\hexagon_downloader.py
