Descarteslabs

Services

This package includes service wrappers for Descartes Labs application services that do require additional dependencies (included in requirements.txt) and are thus not implicitly included in the root package (see above). Service wrappers include, primarily, Metadata (image metadata) and Places (named shapes and statistics). These services are authenticated and in order to setup authentication there is a convenience script to help you log in.

$ python setup.py install
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ descarteslabs auth login

For non-interactive environments, one needs to set the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET environment variables. These can be retrieved from the ~/.descarteslabs/token_info.json created from the login process or generated fresh through through IAM.

$ export CLIENT_ID=...
$ export CLIENT_SECRET=...
