Hey @drewbo - could the USGS module serve your purposes for gathering MODIS metadata? As an example:

usgs search --node EE MODIS_MYD09A1 --start-date 20150501 --end-date 20150531 --geojson | gist -f modis-myd09a1.geojson

@kapadia Looks awesome (sorry for slow response). Do you know how to obtain the correct account privileges?

@drewbo metadata search requires no authentication. is that output from usgs login?

drewbo commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I'll search without logging in; do you know what portions do require the login?

Obtaining direct download urls requires authentication with an account that has elevated privileges granted by EROS. Getting permissions from EROS is tricky business; we went through this effort when getting Landsat 8 on AWS.
