Overview

EODMS has several options for search and download API access as well as automation i.e. Machine 2 Machine. As part of the Directive on Open Government, the Government of Canada is committed to improving its #OpenData posture. EODMS API access aims to promote practices per the GC Standards on APIs.

GitHub Repo - Search and Download in Python

Checkout out our REST API client and OGC API client Python repos on GitHub which automate the search and download of images from EODMS.

Python Package

For any Python developers, we also have a Python package used to access the REST API. To learn how to use the package, visit [1].

OPENSEARCH API

OPENSEARCH Search

BASIC

OPENSEARCH Order

Using a RESPONSE from the OPENSEARCH Search, you can parse out the collectionId and recordId and submit a corresponding REST Order. e.g. collectionId=Radarsat1 and recordId=1508207

OPENSEARCH API. Copernicus Hub Inspired. Provides Direct Download. RADARSAT-1 and NAPL, ONLY)

This particular flavour of OpenSearch API is heavily modeled after the [Copernicus Data Hub OpenSearch access program] to align RADARSAT-1 and NAPL access with SENTINEL access. Each API response comes with a direct download URL (in contrast to the REST Order API call which invokes a slower archive-pull-and-stage operation.

SEARCH TERMS

producttype which can be SCN,SGF, or SLC for Radarsat-1
sensoroperationalmode which refers to the beam mnemonic like EH3, F1, W2, SCWB, SCNA etc..
polarisationmode which is only HH for R1
ingestiondate
beginposition
endposition
footprint  (point and polygon)

The search terms can be used together with AND and OR. There is also support for wildcards, free text searching and other operators:

Wildcard  Description

*         any sequence of zero or more characters
?         any one character

Operator  Description

AND       Narrow search and retrieve records containing all of the words it separates.
OR        Broaden search and retrieve records containing any of the words it separates.
NOT       Narrow search and retrieve records that do not contain the term following it.
( )       Group words or phrases when combining Boolean phrases and to show the order in which relationships should be considered.

Heavily modeled after the ESA Data hubs so the following should apply: https://colhub.copernicus.eu/userguide/OpenSearchAPI
