LAADS Web Service Classic REST Examples

General Service Information

Various queries to find out what sorts of data products are available, for which satellites and in what geographic projections.

Product Information

Get more specific information about a particular data product, including a list of Science Data Sets (SDS) and bands.

Search and Get File URLs

This is an easy way to get granules without any post processing. For example you may want to process them yourself, or perhaps they are already in the format you desire.

Search and Order Files (Simple)

Search for and order the granules. Ordering works just like LAADS Web, an email will be sent to the provided email when the order is ready. The files will be placed on a download server for you to download. Also, an order number will be returned immediately and you can check the status of your order using web service methods (see below).

Search and Order with SDS Subset and Reformat

This sequence searches for granules, gets a list of the SDSs in the granules, and orders the only one of the SDSs contained in the product's granule files. It also requests a reformat to JPEG for easy viewing.

Search and Order with Band Subset and Reprojection

This sequence searches for files, and orders them subsets SDS, subsets a single band, reprojects to ALBERS with default parameters, and reformats to geotiff.

Search using OpenSearch

Example of a granule level search which returns results in a OpenSearch compatible atom+xml format. See http://www.opensearch.org/ for more information.

ESIP Federated Search

ESIP Federated search is a workflow which starts at searching data providers at the dataset level, and ends at a granule level search for the providers offerings. See http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Federated_Search for more information.

Check Order Status and Release

A few functions are provided to manage your orders. Users are limited in the number of active orders at one time. Orders will automatically be released eventually, but you can do so manually as well to free up some of your allotment.
