CLI Tools

callusgs provides four command-line interface tools detailed below.

Note

When supplying coordinates on the command line as is shown below, you need to end the coordinate string with two dashes (–). This stops the program from trying to parse any further arguments. In turn, this also means the AOI must be given as the last argument!

callusgs

usage: callusgs [-h] [--auth-method {password,token,sso,app-guest}]
                [--username USERNAME] [--auth AUTH] [--no-relogin] [-v] [-vv]
                [-d]
                {report,download,geocode,grid2ll,clean} ...

-h, --help: show this help message and exit

--auth-method {password,token,sso,app-guest}: Login method to use

--username <username>: Username to use for authentication

--auth <auth>: Appropriate authentication key (e.g. password, app token, etc.)

--no-relogin: The USGS tokens used after login are only valid for two hours. If this flag is set, no automatic re-login is attempted.

-v, --verbose: Print more logging messages (INFO level and above)

-vv, --very-verbose: Print even more logging messages (DEBUG level and above)

-d, --dry-run: Do not perform action

                         [--aoi-file AOI_FILE] [--aoi-type {Mbr,Coordinates}]
                         --product
                         {landsat_em_c2_l1,landsat_em_c2_l2,landsat_etm_c2_l1,landsat_etm_c2_l2,landsat_ot_c2_l1,landsat_ot_c2_l2,landsat_ba_tile_c2,landsat_dswe_tile_c2,landsat_fsca_tile_c2,gmted2010}

                         outdir

outdir: Path to directory where downloaded data should be stored. May not exist prior to program invocation

-h, --help: show this help message and exit

--no-cite: Suppress citation output

--cloudcover <cloudcover>: Cloud cover range

--include-unknown-clouds: If specfied, include imagery with unknown cloud cover

--date <date>: Date range for query in YYYY-MM-DD format

--months {all,jan,feb,mar,apr,may,jun,jul,aug,sep,oct,nov,dec}: Limit query to certain months in date range

--aoi-coordinates <aoi_coordinates>: Coordinate pair(s) given as latitude longitude pairs seperated by space. If a polygon, i.e. more than one coordinate pair, is supplied, it must be closed. [lat1 lon1 lat2 lon2 lat3 lon3 lat1 lon1]. Is overridden when aoi-file is specfiied as well

--aoi-file <aoi_file>: File containing point or polygon geometry in EPSG:4326 for spatial query. Should the supplied dataset contain either more than one layer and/or more than one feature, all but the first one are disregarded. Takes precedence over aoi-coordinates

--aoi-type {Mbr,Coordinates}

--product {landsat_em_c2_l1,landsat_em_c2_l2,landsat_etm_c2_l1,landsat_etm_c2_l2,landsat_ot_c2_l1,landsat_ot_c2_l2,landsat_ba_tile_c2,landsat_dswe_tile_c2,landsat_fsca_tile_c2,gmted2010}: Data product to query. For product name ‘translations’, refer to the documentation.

--dem-resolution {7.5,15,30}: Resoltuion for Digital Elevation Model

--database <database>: Optional Database in which metadata about scenes and their download link are stored. Note that setting this option does not actually download any data.
