Download from the vito datapool websites http://land.copernicus.vgt.vito.be/PDF/datapool and https://www.vito-eodata.be/PDF/datapool/
You need to have itsybitsy installed. Then run
python setup.py install
To use the read_h5 module, you also need xarray and netCDF4.
import vito_download as vito
import xarray as xr
url = vito.build_url(product='SWI', year=2016, month=1, day=1)
local_files = vito.download_data(url, username='USERNAME', password='PASSWORD',
download_dir='.', include='*.nc')
dataset = xr.open_dataset(list(local_files)[0])
data = dataset['SWI_010'].values.squeeze()
The new downloader adds the ?coord parameter to download URLs by default, when build_url is called with an extent dictionary (here). However, coord only works for some products (e.g. not SWI), so manual cropping after the download is needed.
From the manual:
If you want to download only a specific region, the coord parameter (in LonLat) can be added to the URL. The structure of this URL part is ?coord=XLL,YLL,XUR,YUR where (XLL,YLL) is the LonLat coordinates of the lower-left corner of the boundingBox and (XUR,YUR) is the LonLat coordinates of the upper-right corner. E.g. ?coord=-10.1,-5.1,10.0,5.0 Note: the coord parameter is only supported for PROBA-V synthesis products.
