class CatalogObject(**kwargs)[source]¶

A base class for all representations of objects in the Descartes Labs catalog.

delete()¶

Delete this catalog object from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Once deleted, you cannot use the catalog object and should release any references.

Raises

DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was already deleted.
UnsavedObjectError – If this catalog object is being deleted without having been saved.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

class DocumentState[source]¶

The state of the catalog object.

UNSAVED¶

The catalog object was never synchronized with the Descartes Labs catalog. All values are considered modified and saving the catalog object will create the corresponding object in the Descartes Labs catalog.

Type: enum

MODIFIED¶

The catalog object was synchronized with the Descartes Labs catalog (using get() or save()), but at least one attribute value has since been changed. You can save() a modified catalog object to update the object in the Descartes Labs catalog.

Note that assigning an identical value does not change the state.

Type: enum

SAVED¶

The catalog object has been fully synchronized with the Descartes Labs catalog (using get() or save()).

Type: enum

DELETED¶

The catalog object has been deleted from the Descartes Labs catalog. Many operations cannot be performed on DELETED objects.

Type: enum

Note

A SAVED catalog object can still be out-of-date with respect to the Descartes Labs catalog if there was an update from another client since the last sycnronization. To re-synchronize a SAVED catalog object you can use reload().

Spaces between the value and unit are optional, as is a trailing period.

Objects with resolution values can be filtered by a unitless number in which case the value is always in meters. For example, retrieving all bands with a resolution of 60 meters per pixel:

>>> Band.search().filter(p.resolution == 60)

Parameters

During the sequence of steps in the life-cycle of an upload, events are recorded at each change in upload status and as responsibility for the upload passes between different subsystems (referred to here as “components”). While the ImageUpload object provides the current status of the upload and the time at which that status was reached, the events associated with an upload record the circumstances for each of the changes in the upload status as they occurred.

A typical upload, once complete, will have four events with the following event_type:

ImageUploadEventType.QUEUE
ImageUploadEventType.RUN
ImageUploadEventType.USAGE
ImageUploadEventType.COMPLETE

The value of this field depends on the internal details of how images are uploaded, but is useful to support personnel for understanding where a failure may have occurred.
