Getting started

Maxar-OGC is a Python library for accessing Maxar's imagery platforms to search and download imagery. Connection is established using connect id and login credentials.

Installation:

1. Installation via pip is recommened: pip install Maxar-OGC in your environment.
2. We recommend creating a credentials file to store your login information for future sessions in one of two ways.
   • Use the command line interface command config from the command prompt and follow the prompts. See Command Line Interface
   • Create a credentials file called .ogc-config in your home directory with the following format

     [ogc] 
     user_name=<your-user-name>
     user_password=<your-password>
     user_tenant=<your-base-url> i.e. https://securewatch.digitalglobe.com
     user_connectid=<your-connectid>
     

After creating your config file, you are now ready to start with the Quickstart Guide
