Using service account

[guy1ziv2]

I am trying to use this with a service account on a Colab. This does not work because line 7 in your main code -
ee.Initialize()
whereas I need to have
credentials = ee.ServiceAccountCredentials(service_account, 'privatekey.json')
ee.Initialize(credentials)

Can I ask why you initialize at all? Why not assume the user of the package initialize somehow before running any of the codes in your package ?

@guy1ziv2 good points. This was a quick and dirty way to get GEE into folium. Let me clean this up a little and turn it into a more robust package.

@guy1ziv2 , I updated the code and made it more like a real package. I'm not very familiar with Colab, do you mind testing out the install and applying service account creds?

It works nicely ! @mccarthyryanc Is there a way in the .ipynb example to rename the SRTM layer so that in the overlay control it shows us as something other than a long URL?

@guy1ziv2 good question. I don't like how that looks either but I'm not sure how to fix it... I might need to dig into the Folium source... have to find out.
