DESCRIPTION

usage: asfsmd [-h] [--version]

[--loglevel {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-q] [-v] [-d] [-f] [--urls] [-o OUTDIR] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [--block-size BLOCK_SIZE] [-b {s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,iw1,iw2,iw3,ew1,ew2,ew3,ew4,ew5,wv1,wv2}] [--pol {vv,vh,hv,hh}] [-c] [-n] [-r] [--data] [--noprogress] INPUT [INPUT ...]

Small Python tool (`asfsmd`) that allows one to download XML files containing Sentinel-1 products metadata from the ASF archive. Sentinel-1 products are stored in the ASF archive as ZIP files that are quite large because they contain both the products annotations and the binary image data. The `asfsmd` tool is able to retrieve only the relatively small annotation files (in XML format) without downloading the entire ZIP archive.

positional arguments:

INPUT

Sentinel-1 product name(s). If the '-f' flag is set then the argument is interpreted as the filename containing the list of products. If the '--urls' flag is set then the arguments are interpreted as URLs pointing to product on the ASF server. See '--filelist' and the '--urls' options for more details.

options:

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--version

show program's version number and exit

-f, --file-list
