Abstract

The project focuses on writing a Python library for GRASS GIS that utilizes EODAG API. Currently, GRASS uses different APIs for each satellite data provider. As a result, a lot of maintenance has to be done to keep up with the changes happening to all the different APIs. Thus, adding EODAG support to GRASS GIS will provide a lot of flexibility in the future development of GRASS, by decreasing the amount of maintenance needed to keep up with all the different APIs updated, and instead, sufficiently, maintain the support for EODAG library. Deliverables for this proposal are supporting Sentinel, Landsat, and MODIS datasets with EODAG, and reimplementation of both i.sentinel.download and i.landsat.download modules with the new GRASS EODAG library.
