PRE-ALPHA SOFTWARE - MAY CHANGE
Initial, incomplete, strawman effort at a Python client to Planet's public API.
https://planetlabs.github.io/planet-client-python/index.html
Executable CLI releases and documentation are here.
To develop with or use the library in your own projects, see the wiki.
Hint: autocompletion can be enabled in some shells using:
eval "$(_PLANET_COMPLETE=source planet)"
Basics and help:
planet
OR specific command help:
planet search --help
An API key is required.
This can be provided via the environment variable PL_API_KEY or the flag -k or --api-key. Using the planet init the username and password can be used and saved instead.
