Sending Your Own Requests to the API

Client Class and Methods

class openet_client.OpenETClient(token=None)
send_request(endpoint, method='get', disable_encoding=False, **kwargs)

Handles sending most requests to the API - they provide the endpoint and the args. Since the API is in the process of switching from GET to POST requests, we have logic that switches between those depending on the request method

Parameters:

  • endpoint – The text path to the OpenET endpoint - e.g. raster/export - skip the base URL.

  • method – “get” or “post” (case sensitive) - should match what the API supports for the endpoint

  • kwargs – The arguments to send (via get or post) to the API

Returns:

requests.Response object of the results.
