Satellite Scraper 🌎

Easy to use python package for scraping high-resolution satellite images from apple maps.🌎

Credit to @Jimutmap123 for the original code.

Examples:

Kobe Dock

Features

• Provides super high resolution satellite images of a specified area!
• Allows you to select a city and download images of that city with just the name (TBA)
• No need for any api key.

How it Works:

• Takes a free API key from sattelites.pro
• Uses API key to download an array of high-res tiles from apple maps.
• Stiches the array togehter to produce one high resolution image.
• 

Install:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• Pip
• Chromium based browser on $PATH
• Works MUCH more reliably on Linux (only ubuntu tested so far.)

Instalation Using Pip

pip install satellitescraper

Usage:

After installing the package, you can import it as so:

  from satellitescraper.map_fetch import *

  min_lat_deg = 25.1 
  max_lat_deg = 25.12
  min_lon_deg = 51.2
  max_lon_deg = 51.22
  zoom = 19

  map_fetch(min_lat_deg ,max_lat_deg, min_lon_deg, max_lon_deg, zoom, verbose = False, threads_= 8, container_dir = "myOutputFolder")

To get the coordinate variables:

• Take two points on earth you would like to make into a rectangle
• Record the latitude and longitude of both of those points
• Put the smallest longitude and latitude in respective variabeles
• Put the largest longitude and latitude in respective variables
• Choose zoom (affects resolution of tiles).
