🌎Earth Engine API

The interactive colab for using our API can be found in our ddf_common github repository.

Much of the earth engine API is built as wrappers around the Earth Engine Python API which has a very good tutorial. What the Ddf EE API adds is:

• Improved usability through automatic authorization of TimberID users. You do not have to set up your own GCP project to use the API. You only need register with TimberID.

• Easy to use APIs to access TimberID entered data. All data imported into TimberID is automatically exported to Earth Engine in a FeatureCollection. You can access this data with a single API call.

• Easy to use APIs to access important climate data. Rasters such as digital elevation are surfaced for you as a Python function, allowing you to access them without requiring knowledge of the Earth Engine path.

• Performant raster access. For the rasters we load, there are highly parallel routines for downloading data. You can query raster locations in a bulk query and that will be chunked to many subprocesses for faster downloads.
