Utility to download Landsat 8 imagery from Amazon servers.

It's quite similar to landsat-util, but if you just need to download imagery and need the BQA band and metadata information, it can fit better for you.

pip install lc8_download

You can use lc8_download command line interface or use it as a Python library.

Usage: lc8_download [OPTIONS] <scene>

Options:

-b Bands to be downloaded. Use commas as delimiter. Example: '-b 2,3,4,BQA' --all Download all bands and metadata --path Directory where the files will be saved. Default: ~/landsat/ --metadata Download scene metadata file. --help Show this message and exit.

For example:

lc8_download LC80030172015001LGN00 -b 2,3,4,BQA --metadata --path lc8/

Download the bands 2, 3, 4 and BQA of the scene LC80030172015001LGN00. Also download the metadata file and save all the files in the folder lc8.

>>> from lc8_download import lc8 >>> scene = lc8.Downloader('LC80030172015001LGN00') >>> scene.download([2, 3, 4, 'BQA'], 'lc8/', True)

It will download the bands 2, 3, 4 and BQA and the metadata of the scene LC80030172015001LGN00 and save all the files in the folder lc8.
