Connecting to the Open Datacube#

The Datacube Class is how you establish a connection to an existing Open Datacube instance.

Minimal Example#

After importing the datacube package, users need to specify a name for their session, known as the app name. This name is chosen by the user and is used to track down issues with database queries. It does not have any effect on the analysis. The resulting dc object provides access to all the data contained within the datacube instance.

import datacube

dc = datacube.Datacube(app="my_analysis")

Note

If you have trouble connecting make sure your environment is setup correctly, see Setting up your environment

API#
