Unavailability of Landsat on-demand products due to U.S. government shutdown about getspatialdata HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting and sorry for the delayed reply. Unfortunately, ESPA is currently unavailable due to the temporary shutdown of the United States federal government. This is the reason for both the query failure and the maintenance status. See https://espa.cr.usgs.gov/

I just updated getSpatialData so that getLandsat_query is not failing, if ESPA is unavailable. Instead, the record field levels_available is set to NA. Please install the newest version and let me know, if the issue could be solved.

Thank you very much for your answer! Do you know if ESPA's server will return to be available soon? or it's the first time that this happened?

from getspatialdata.

I am afraid, ESPA will not return until a political solution is found that ends the U.S. government shutdown or the shutdown of some U.S. government branches.

In this case, it's possible to change the server for obtain Landsat 8 data with getLandsat_query?

do you know another way to get Landsat 8 data in R?

from getspatialdata.

Yes, you can still download Landsat 8 Level 1 data via AWS using getLandsat_data. Since ESPA is not available, on-demand processing of higher-level products such as surface reflectances is not possible. This is something that has not to do with getSpatialData and will apply for all ESPA clients in R.

I added another change that makes it possible to still download Landsat level 1 data if ESPA is offline. Please reinstall getSpatialData.

You can download Landsat 8 data as shown in this example (to be run after setting your AOI, login, archive directory etc.):

records <- getLandsat_query(time_range = c("2018-08-01", "2018-08-31"), name = "LANDSAT_8_C1")
getLandsat_data(records[1,], level = "l1") #to download the first dataset from AWS

from getspatialdata.

Wonderful! Now I can download Landsat 8 data again! Thank you very much!
