The sentinelhub Python package allows users to make OGC (WMS and WCS) web requests to download and process satellite images within your Python scripts. It supports Sentinel-2 L1C and L2A, Sentinel-1, Landsat 8, MODIS and DEM data source.
Version 1.0 is backwards compatible with previous releases, and therefore allows users to also download raw data from AWS to .SAFE format.
The package requires a Python version >= 3.5. The package is available on the PyPI package manager and can be installed with
$ pip install sentinelhub --upgrade
To install the package manually, clone the repository and
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
The package is backward compatible with the previous version.
Some of the major features introduced in version 1.0 are linked to one's Sentinel Hub account:
- support for Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) requests using your Sentinel Hub account;
- support for standard and custom multi-spectra layers, such as unprocessed bands, true color imagery, or NDVI;
- support for multi-temporal requests;
- support for cloud coverage filtering;
- support for different Coordinate Reference Systems;
- support to read and write downloaded data to disk in the most common image and data formats.
- support for various data sources (new in version 1.1.0):
- Sentinel-2 L1C,
- Sentinel-2 L2A,
- Sentinel-1,
- Landsat 8,
- MODIS,
- DEM
The package allows to download Sentinel-2 data from Sentinel-2 on AWS and reconstruct data into ESA .SAFE format. Sentinel Hub account is not required to use this functionality.
The following are implemented:
- support of old and new (i.e. compact) .SAFE format;
- support for downloading of either entire product, or a map of the .SAFE structure only;
- support of command lines entries;
- adjustable threaded downloads, and optional redownloads of existing data (not default);
- requires either S-2 product ID, or tile name and date of a product.
