Changelog • earthdatalogin

earthdatalogin 0.0.5

edl_download(), edl_search(), and edl_netrc() no longer overwrite stored credentials. Previously, calling these without arguments rewrote the .netrc file with the bundled default credentials, clobbering credentials a user had already set and causing 401 errors. Now the netrc is only (re)written when credentials are supplied explicitly or when no earthdata netrc exists yet (#27, #13).
edl_extract_urls() (and edl_search(parse_results = TRUE)) now handle granules with multiple data assets, e.g. one GeoTIFF per band. Previously these errored with “Result must be length 1” (#15).
collections_fetch() is deprecated in favor of rstac::collections_fetch(), which now provides this functionality upstream (#17).

CRAN release: 2026-06-12

Tests no longer attempt network access on CRAN. The netcdf access test now skips on CRAN and when offline, and the get_nasa_stac_url() error-path test is mocked so it runs without network access. This resolves the CRAN check ERRORs introduced when the protected NetCDF download ran on CRAN machines.

CRAN release: 2025-07-11

Bugfix for edl_s3_token() (#21), which now requires cookies
Adds support for listing NASA STAC catalogs with list_nasa_stacs() and retrieving specific catalog URLs with get_nasa_stac_url() (#19).
adds experimental support for CMR search with edl_search(). Does not support all use cases, STAC-based search is still recommended.
Adds collections_fetch() for working with the results of a collections() query using the rstac package. The NASA STAC API by default only return 10 collections for a given catalogue; this function allows you to retrieve them all (#11).
Adds edl_stac_urls() for retrieving urls from an rstac items list.
bugfix for default_auth() behavior if credentials are not supplied.

CRAN release: 2023-12-15

Adds support for netrc-based authentication. edl_set_token() works only outside of us-west-2, edl_s3_token() works only inside us-west-2, netrc works anywhere. Additionally, netrc-based auth does not to be deactivated when accessing non-earthdatalogin URLs.
- edl_netrc() sets up netrc-based access.
- edl_unset_netrc() reverses this, but should rarely be needed.
Using other authentication methods in interactive mode will now prompt users to switch to edl_netrc() as the default. edl_download() will also use netrc auth by default for greater portability.
gdal_cloud_config() sets recommended settings for GDAL cloud configuration, see https://gdalcubes.github.io/source/concepts/config.html#recommended-settings-for-cloud-access. By default, edl_netrc() will automatically configure this as well.
Because the gdalcubes package does not read environmental variables set by edl_netrc() and other authentication methods, a new helper function, with_gdalcubes() will set the gdal configuration for the gdalcubes package.
Documentation is also updated.
