"# Challenge I: Search and process data from DIAS (Copernicus Data and Information Access Services)\n",
"*WRS jupyter hackathon, 30th of June 2021*, R. Rietbroek\n",
"\n",
"The overall goal of this challenge is threefold:\n",
"1. Learn how to establish a connection with a DIAS server and execute a search request\n",
"2. Download a dataset\n",
"3. Apply a post-processing operation on such a dataset\n",
"\n",
"DIAS currently consists of 5 different data providers, which hosts a variety of data and provide access to it:\n",

"The different providers generally provide a graphical website to search for and access data. However, they also provide scriptable ways which allow automated access (so-called [REST-API's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) in webserver speak). In essence, these API's allow the server to be passed additional arguments (append by using `?parameter=Value1&parameter2=Value2` which can be interpreted and processed by the server and a response can be send back. For example [https://catalogue.onda-dias.eu/opensearch/OpenSearch?instrumentShortName=MSI](https://catalogue.onda-dias.eu/opensearch/OpenSearch?instrumentShortName=MSI), will return a machine readable xml document containing the search hits for the term `MSI`. \n",
"\n",
"In this challenge, you will try to make use of the automated way to search for and access the data, in order to facilitate automated scripts. \n",
"\n",
"Unfortunately, the way to access the servers is not standardized and searches and download requests may take several forms depending on the provider. Luckily there is [progress on a python module called eodag](https://pypi.org/project/eodag/) which provides a more uniform way of accessing the the providers. You're encouraged to make use of that package."

"## Challenge statement\n",
"Supplement this notebook with functionality which (1) allow search queries to the datasets, (2) Downloading an appropriate subset of the data, (3) create a simple visualization of the downloaded data\n",
"\n",
"## Tips and tricks\n",
"* Try to find interesting datasets on the graphical webinterfaces of the servers, and see if those can also be found in a programmatic way.\n",
"* Try out with 'light' datasets first in order to avoid repeated downloading of large files. Try to see if *subsetting* is possible (downloading only parts of the dataset)\n",
"* There are many python code snippets in the crib's folder `public/resources/Python-Data-Science-Handbook` which may be of use\n",
"* From a security standpoint: Don't hardcode usernames and passwords in your jupyter notebook. For example, you can query for the user's input (see below) or use separate files which contain confidential information"
