Change Log

All notable changes to sentinelsat will be listed here.

[master] – YYYY-MM-DD

Added

Changed

Deprecated

Fixed

• Missing Online field in OData response defaults to Online: True instead of raising a KeyError (#281 @viktorbahr)

Development Changes

• Replaced direct vcrpy usage in unit tests with pytest-vcr. The pytest command line options changed from --vcr disable to --disable-vcr and --vcr [use|record_new|reset] to --vcr-record [once|record_new|all. See vcrpy docs for details.
• Reduced code duplication in unit tests by making greater use of pytest fixtures.

[0.13] – 2019-04-05

Added

• Query keywords with interval ranges now also support single-sided ranges by using None or '*' to denote no bound, for example query(date=(None, 'NOW-1YEAR')). If both bounds are set to unlimited, the keyword will be removed from the query. (#210)
• Raise an exception in case of duplicate keywords present in a query. Case is ignored to match the server-side behavior. (#210)
• Support for Python 3.7
• Support for GeoJSON files with a single Feature without a FeatureCollection. (#224 @scottstanie)
• Added support for Unicode symbols in search queries. (#230)
• Raise ValueError exception if longitude is outside [-180, 180] or latitude is outside [-90, 90] (#236, #218 @Andrey-Raspopov)
• optional timeout attribute to avoid indefinite wait on response from the server (#256, @viktorbahr)
• Parsing the Online, CreationDate and IngestionDate fields of an OData response
• Trying to download an offline product from the Copernicus Open Access Hub triggers its retrieval from the long term archive. Downloading of the product is not scheduled.
• Added support for downloading Sentinel 5P data in the CLI via the '--sentinel 5' flag

Changed

• Add support in the CLI for reading credentials from ~/.netrc and document existing functionality in the API (#90)

Fixed

• Spaces in query parameter values are now handled correctly be escaping them with a backslash, where appropriate. (#169, #211)
• Fixed some CLI errors not returning a non-zero exit code. (#209)
• Fixed typo for area_relation query parameter documentation from 'Intersection' to 'Intersects'. (#225 @scottstanie)
• Updated check_query_length() logic to match the changed server-side behavior. (#230)
• Clarify usage of GeoJSON files with CLI in docs (#229 @psal93)
• to_geopandas() now returns an empty GeoDataFrame for an empty product list input.

Development Changes

• Replaced [test] and [docs] with a single [dev] installation extras target. (#208)
• Adapted .travis.yml to build fiona and pyproj from source for Python 3.7.
• Minimum pytest version pytest >= 3.6.3 required by pytest-socket.
• The existing practice of not accessing the network from unit tests, unless running with --vcr record_new or --vcr reset, is now enforced by throwing a SocketBlockedError in such cases. (#207)

[0.12.2] – 2018-06-20

Added

• made exceptions more verbose regarding optional dependencies (#176)
• CLI username, password and DHuS URL can be set with environment variables DHUS_USER, DHUS_PASSWORD and DHUS_URL (#184, @temal-)
• added information about known errors and DHuS issues to docs (#186, @martinber)

Changed

• remove hard coded product type list from cli (#190, @lenniezelk)
• Made the function signature of count() fully compatible with query(). Irrelevant parameters are simply ignored.

Deprecated

• environment variables SENTINEL_USER and SENTINEL_PASSWORD are superceded by DHUS_USER and DHUS_PASSWORD

Fixed

• Updated handling of invalid queries. An exception is raised in such cases. #168
• Fixed order_by parameter being ignored in queries that require multiple subqueries (that is, queries that return more than 100 products) (#200)
• Special handling of quote symbols in query strings due to a server-side error is no longer necessary and has been removed. #168
• Updated effective query length calculation in check_query_length() to reflect server-side changes.
• skip failing tests on optional dependency Pandas for Python 3.3 and 3.4
• Unit tests work irrespective of the directory they are run from.

[0.12.1] – 2017-10-24

Changed

• Made checksumming the default behavior, and removed its flag from the CLI. (@gbaier2)

Fixed

• set requests encoding to UTF8
• fixed a backwards incompatible change in the geojson dependency
• inconsistent documentation on the use of range parameters such as date=

[0.12.0] – 2017-08-10

Added

• Option to change the type of spatial relation for the AOI in query(). The choices are 'Interesects', 'Contains' and 'IsWithin'.
• order_by option to query() which controls the fields by which the products are sorted on the server side before being returned. -o/--order-by on the CLI.
• limit the number of products returned by query() and to set the number of products to skip via offset. -l/--limit on the CLI.
• Added raw parameter to query() to append any additional raw query string to the query.
• Query parameters that take intervals as values can now be passed a tuple of the interval range values.
• Date validation and parsing has been extended to all date-type parameters in queries, such as 'ingestiondate'.
• Added count() which quickly returns the number of products matching a query on the server without retrieving the full response.
• Method check_query_length to check if a query will fail because of being excessively long.
• Option to adjust the number of decimal figures in the coordinates of the WKT string returned by geojson_to_wkt().
• CLI option to query by UUID (--uuid) or filename (--name).
• A more informative error message is shown if a too long query string was likely the cause of the query failing on the server side. This can be useful if the WKT string length would cause the query to fail otherwise.
• Progressbars can be disabled by setting show_progressbars to False. Progressbars may be customized by overriding the _tqdm() method.
• Contribution guidelines.
• Tests for validity of documentation and RST files.

Changed

• Merged CLI subcommands sentinel search and sentinel download into sentinelsat.
• CLI uses keywords instead of positional arguments, i.e. --user <username>.
• initial_date and end_date parameters in query() have been replaced with a single date parameter that takes a tuple of start and end dates as input.
• Files being downloaded now include an '.incomplete' suffix in their name until the download is finished.
• Removed check_existing option from download() and download_all(). Similar functionality has been provided in the new check_files() function.
• format_query_date has been changed into a public function.
• Added a progressbar to long-running queries.
• Tests can now be run from any directory rather than the repository root.
• Made the query string slightly more compact by getting rid of unnecessary 'AND' operators, spaces and parentheses.
• Reduced the size of the VCR.py cassettes used in unit tests.
• changed license from AGPLv3 to GPLv3+

Deprecated

• query_raw() has been merged with query() and is deprecated. Use query(raw=...) instead.

Fixed

• Show the correct progress value in the download progressbar when continuing from an incomplete file. (Thanks @gbaier!)
• Added a workaround for a server-side bug when plus symbols are used in a query.

[0.11] – 2017-06-01

Changed

• Replace pycurl dependency with requests. This makes installation significantly easier. (#117)
• An exception is raised in download_all() if all downloads failed.
• Change 'Sentinels Scientific Datahub' to 'Copernicus Open Access Hub' (#100)
• Renamed py.test option --vcr reset_all to --vcr reset to better reflect its true behavior.

[0.10] – 2017-05-30

Added

• GeoJSON footprints are allowed to contain just a single geometry instead of a feature collection. Any geometry type that has a WKT equivalent is supported (rather than only Polygons).
• get_product_odata() can be used to get the full metadata information available for a product if full=True is set.
• Added query_raw() that takes full text search string as input and returns a parsed dictionary just like the updated query() method.
• CLI: --sentinel=<int> option to select satellite (constellation)

Changed

• SentinelAPI, etc. can be directly imported from sentinelsat rather than sentinelsat.sentinel.
• query() changes:
  • The area argument expects a WKT string as input instead of a coordinate string. (Issue #101)
  • Date arguments can be disabled by setting them to None and their values are validated on the client side. (Issue #101)
  • The return value has been changed to a dict of dicts of parsed metadata values. One entry per product with the product ID as the key.
• download_all() expects a list of product IDs as input. This is compatible with the output of query().
• get_coordinates() has been replaced with functions read_geojson() and geojson_to_wkt(). (Issue #101)
• Use more compact and descriptive error messages from the response headers, if available.

Deprecated

• CLI: --sentinel1 and --sentinel2 will be removed with the next major release

Removed

• to_dict() has been removed since it is no longer required.
• load_query() has been made private (renamed to _load_query()).

Fixed

• Fixed invalid GeoJSON output in both the CLI and API. (Issue #104)
• Fixed broken reporting of failed downloads in the CLI. (Issue #88)
• Attempting to download a product with an invalid ID no longer creates an infinite loop and a more informative error message is displayed in the CLI.

Changed

• --footprints now includes all returned product properties in the output.
• KeyError('No results returned.') is no longer returned for zero returned products in a response.
• Renamed get_footprint to to_geojson and get_product_info to get_product_odata.
• Added underscore to methods and functions that are not expected to be used outside the package.
• Instance variables url and content have been removed, last_query and last_status_code have been made private.
