Python interface for UP42, the geospatial marketplace and developer platform.

Documentation • UP42.com • Support

Highlights

• Python package for easy access to UP42's geospatial datasets & processing workflows
• For geospatial analysis & product builders!
• Interactive maps & visualization, ideal with Jupyter notebooks
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Developer tools for UP42 custom blocks (coming soon)

Package Overview

• The UP42 Python SDK uses six object classes, representing the hierarchical structure of the UP42 platform:
  • Project > Workflow > Job > JobTask,
  • Catalog and
  • Tools.
• Each object (besides Catalog and Tools) provides the full functionality at that specific level and can spawn elements of one level below, e.g.
  • project = up42.initialize_project()
  • workflow = Project().create_workflow()
  • job = workflow.create_and_run_job()
• Usually a user starts by creating a project object and then spawns objects of a lower level.
• It is also possible to directly access a lower-level object, e.g. a job that was already run on UP42 can be used to initialize the corresponding object via up42.initialize_job(job_id='123456789').

30-seconds Example

After authentication with the UP42 project, a new workflow is created and filled with tasks (Sentinel-2 data, image sharpening). The area of interest and workflow parameters are defined. After running the job, the results are downloaded and visualized.

import up42

up42.authenticate("config.json")
project = up42.initialize_project()

workflow = project.create_workflow(name="30-seconds-workflow", use_existing=True)
# Add blocks/tasks to the workflow.
blocks = up42.get_blocks(basic=True)
input_tasks= [blocks['sobloo-s2-l1c-aoiclipped'], 
              blocks['sharpening']]
workflow.add_workflow_tasks(input_tasks=input_tasks)

# Define the aoi and input parameters of the workflow to run it.
aoi = workflow.read_vector_file("data/aoi_berlin.geojson", as_dataframe=True)
input_parameters = workflow.construct_parameters(geometry=aoi, 
                                                 geometry_operation="bbox", 
                                                 start_date="2018-01-01",
                                                 end_date="2020-12-31",
                                                 limit=1)
input_parameters["sobloo-s2-l1c-aoiclipped:1"].update({"max_cloud_cover":60})

job = workflow.create_and_run_job(input_parameters=input_parameters)
job.track_status()

job.download_results()
job.map_results()

Installation & Getting Started

The package requires Python > 3.6.

1. Install via pip:

pip install up42-py

2. Create a new project on UP42.

3. Create a config.json file and fill in the project credentials.

{
  "project_id": "...",
  "project_api_key": "..."
}

4. Test it in Python! This will authenticate with the UP42 Server and get the project information.

import up42

up42.authenticate(cfg_file="config.json")
project = up42.initialize_project()
print(project)

Success! Continue with the Getting Started chapter in the documentation!

For a developer installation (in case you want to contribute to up42-py) see the developer readme.
