class AuthCatalogObject(*args, **kwargs)

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

Note

The readers and writers IDs must be prefixed with email:, user:, group: or org:. The owners IDs must be prefixed with org: or user:. Using org: as an owner will assign those privileges only to administrators for that organization; using org: as a reader or writer assigns those privileges to everyone in that organization. The readers and writers attributes are only visible in full to an owner. If you are a reader or a writer those attributes will only display the elements of those lists by which you are gaining read or write access.

Any user with owner privileges is able to read the object attributes and data, modify the object attributes, and delete the object, including reading and modifying the owners, writers, and readers attributes.

Any user with writer privileges is able to read the object attributes and data, modify the object attributes except for owners, writers, and readers. A writer cannot delete the object. A writer can read the owners attribute but can only read the elements of writers and readers by which they gain access to the object.

Any user with reader privileges is able to read the objects attributes and data. A reader can read the owners attribute but can only read the elements of writers and readers by which they gain access to the object.

Also see Sharing Resources.

user_can_read(auth=None)

Check if the authenticated user is an owner, a writer, or a reader and has permissions to read this object.

Note it is kind of silly to call this method unless a non-default auth object is provided, because the default authorized user must have read permission in order to even retrieve this object.

Parameters:

auth (Auth, optional) – The auth object to use for the check. If not provided, the default auth object will be used.

Returns:

True if the user can read the object, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

user_can_write(auth=None)

Check if the authenticated user is an owner or a writer and has permissions to modify this object.

Parameters:

auth (Auth, optional) – The auth object to use for the check. If not provided, the default auth object will be used.

Returns:

True if the user can modify the object, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

user_is_owner(auth=None)

Check if the authenticated user is an owner, and can perform actions such as changing ACLs or deleting this object.

Parameters:

auth (Auth, optional) – The auth object to use for the check. If not provided, the default auth object will be used.

Returns:

True if the user is an owner of the object, False otherwise.

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

• ImageUploadEventType.QUEUE

class Placeholder(text: str, unquoted=False, raw=False)

Placeholder class for EventSubscriptionComputeTarget.

Can be used in an EventSubscriptionComputeTarget for any value element, as a mechanism to pass Jinja2 template substitutions through to the resulting detail template.

Create a Placeholder object.

By default when unquoted and raw are both False, the text will be rendered as a string value with the text substituted from the event context. For example, Placeholder("event.detail.id") will render as "some-id".

If unquoted is True, the text will be rendered without enclosing quotes (typically for a numeric value, JSON object or array). For example, Placeholder("event.detail.geometry", unquoted=True) will render as {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[0, 0,], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1], [0, 0]]]}.

If raw is True, then the text will be rendered by Jinja2 as is, without introducing any additional quotes or substitutions. Generally this is used when you must explicitly pass through a Jinja2 template expression with substitutions.

In all cases, the final result after all substitions must be a fragment of a valid JSON string.

Parameters:

• text (str) – The text to be rendered into the resulting JSON detail template. How it is handled depends on the unquoted and raw parameters.

• unquoted (bool, optional) – If False, the text will be rendered as a string value. If False, then the text will be rendered without enclosing quotes. Defaults to False. Ignored if raw is True.

• raw (bool, optional) – If True, the text will be rendered as is, without wrapping as a substitution or a string. Defaults to False.

class Resolution(values=None, **kwargs)

A spatial pixel resolution with a unit.

For example, Resolution(value=60, unit=ResolutionUnit.METERS) represents a resolution of 60 meters per pixel. You can also use a string with a value and unit, for example 60m or 1.2 deg.. The available unit designations are:

• m, meter, meters, metre, metres

• °, deg, degree, degrees

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)
