Generate a LIST of USGS Collection 1 Image IDs for ingestion by USGS/EROS Machine-to-Machine API for BULK download.

Metadata subsetting tool in the form of a Python function.
The tool allows a user to subset a USGS Collection 1 metadata CSV file using the following parameters:

• Path
• Row
• Tier (1 or 2)
• Cloud Cover (<= than %)
• Timeframe (from/to)
• Previous Image ID list (if available--to avoid repeated image downloads)
• Mission (Landsat 4-5,7,8)

Requires

• User credentials to login to USGS EarthExplorer (free).
• Approved access to USGS machine-to-machine API (request for free here).
• A USGS metadata CSV file (may be obtained here).
• Alternatively, a smaller metada CSV file may be obtained in Earth Explorer (no API required):
• Row and Path information may be obtained in the attached kml file or in this link. Examples:
  Catalunya, Spain:
  usgsPaths = [197, 198, 199]
  usgsRows = [30, 31, 32]

Big Island, Hawaii:
usgsPaths = [62, 63]
usgsRows = [46, 47]

Uruguay:
usgsPaths = [222, 223, 224, 225]
usgsRows = [81, 82, 83, 84]

Output

A clean TXT file that can be used as input in the USGS/EROS Machine-to-Machine API for BULK download.
TXT file will contain required header and image IDs.

Machine-to-Machine API

• Link here
• In API, enter the name of TXT file as input in the code:
