nasa-cmr-inventory

Process CMR metadata (by project) into tabular and spatial formats for spatial db index.

• contents: list of files included for each project and dataset
• usage: example invocation of python module cmr as script
• updates: details about update tracking

contents

Each project has the following files (e.g. projects/podaac/ghrsst/):

• projects/podaac/ghrsst/ds.json: UMM-C records for all datasets (API response as JSON)
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/ds.csv: UMM-C records parsed to a table
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/ds.geojson: UMM-C records table as a GeoJSON
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/ds.shp: UMM-C records table as an ESRI Shapefile
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/ds.kml: UMM-C records table as a KML

And each dataset in a project has the following files (e.g. projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/):

• projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/gr.json: UMM-G records for all granules (API response as JSON)
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/gr.csv: UMM-G records parsed to a table
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/gr.geojson: UMM-G records table as a GeoJSON
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/gr.shp: UMM-G records table as an ESRI Shapefile
• projects/podaac/ghrsst/GOES13-OSISAF-L3C-v1.0/gr.kml: UMM-G records table as a KML

usage

Optional: update path and query settings in config.json.

Run as a module by passing a valid project name to cmr/__main__.py:

python -m cmr ghrsst

update all projects

This wrapper script calls CMR collections endpoint to retrieve all of the unique project names for the input CMR provider (set __PROVIDER__ in update.py).

./update.py

updates

Update history is tracked by project in projects/podaac/projects.json.

The PROVIDER.md (PODAAC.md) is regenerated with every successful run.
