earthaccess is a python library to search
+for, and download or stream
+NASA Earth science data with just a few lines of code.
+
Open science only reaches its full potential if we have easy-to-use
+workflows that facilitate research in an inclusive, efficient and
+reproducible way. Unfortunately —as it stands today— scientists and
+students alike face a steep learning curve adapting to systems that have
+grown too complex and end up spending more time on the technicalities of
+the tools, cloud and NASA APIs than focusing on their important
+science.
+
During several workshops organized by NASA
+Openscapes, the need to provide easy-to-use tools to our users
+became evident. Open science is a collaborative effort; it involves
+people from different technical backgrounds, and the data analysis to
+solve the pressing problems we face cannot be limited by the complexity
+of the underlying systems. Therefore, providing easy access to NASA
+Earthdata regardless of the data storage location (hosted within or
+outside of the cloud) is the main motivation behind this Python
+library.
+
The library is an open source community effort under an MIT license. We welcome contributions to improve
+earthaccess. Please see the Contributing Guide to learn how to get
+involved.
+
earthaccess handles authentication with NASA’s Earthdata Login (EDL),
+search using NASA’s CMR
+and access through fsspec.
