Documentation

§ Overview

Harmony provides access to services that can transform data from NASA's Earth Observing Systems Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAAC). Transformations can be requested using one of two Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) inspired APIs.

Data processed by Harmony is staged in AWS S3 buckets owned by NASA or optionally in user owned S3 buckets. Harmony provides signed URLs or temporary access credentials to users for data staged in NASA S3 buckets.

Data transformation requests are executed as jobs in Harmony. Harmony provides the ability for users to monitor and interact with long-running jobs, both programmatically through an API and via a web-based user interface.

This document describes the APIs and endpoints Harmony provides. You can use these APIs and endpoints to directly interact with Harmony, but the recommended official way to interact with Harmony is through Harmony-Py.

This documentation covers the following:

§ Getting Started

All users will need an Earthdata Login (EDL) account in order to access NASA data and services. Once a user has an EDL username and password they will need to use these when accessing Harmony. They can be used directly in a browser request (the browser will prompt for them), in another client like curl, or in code.

For curl or in code the easiest approach is to place your EDL credentials in a .netrc file.

A sample .netrc file looks like this

machine uat.urs.earthdata.nasa.gov login my-edl-user-name password my-edl-password

COPIED
COPY

Example 2 - Sample .netrc file

Make sure that this file is only readable by the current user or you will receive an error stating "netrc access too permissive."

$ chmod 0600 ~/.netrc
COPIED
COPY

Example 3 - Setting permissions on the .netrc file (Unix/macOS)

Alternatively users can generate an EDL bearer token directly and pass this to Harmony using an Authorization: Bearer header.

§ Passing credentials with curl

Use the -n flag to use your .netrc file with curl. You will also need to pass the -L flag (to handle the redirect from Harmony to EDL and back) and the -b and -j flags to properly handle cookies used during the authentication.

curl -Lnbj https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/C1234208438-POCLOUD/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/collections/bathymetry/coverage/rangeset

COPIED
COPY

Example 4 - Curl flags to handle EDL authentication when using a .netrc file

To work directly with a bearer token from EDL you can use an Authorization: Bearer my-bearer-token header as follows:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <my-bearer-token>" https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/C1234208438-POCLOUD/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/collections/bathymetry/coverage/rangeset

COPIED
COPY

Example 5 - Using a bearer token with curl

§ Passing credentials in code

The following Python example uses the netrc, request, and cookiejar libraries to set up authentication with EDL. No error handling is included in this example.

import netrc
from urllib import request, parse
from http.cookiejar import CookieJar

def setup_earthdata_login_auth(endpoint):
    """
    Set up the request library so that it authenticates against the given Earthdata Login
    endpoint and is able to track cookies between requests.  This uses the .netrc file.
    """
    username, _, password = netrc.netrc().authenticators(endpoint)
    manager = request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
    manager.add_password(None, endpoint, username, password)
    auth = request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(manager)

    jar = CookieJar()
    processor = request.HTTPCookieProcessor(jar)
    opener = request.build_opener(auth, processor)
    request.install_opener(opener)

setup_earthdata_login_auth('uat.urs.earthdata.nasa.gov')

COPIED
COPY

Example 6 - Authenticating in python

The username and password can also be set directly instead of using a .netrc file.

There is significant boiler-plate code involved in connecting to Harmony that can be avoided by using the harmony-py library. The equivalent code using harmony-py (when using a .netrc file) can be as simple as

from harmony import Client

harmony_client = Client() # defaults to Harmony production endpoint

COPIED
COPY

Example 7 - Using harmony-py to create a client with .netrc EDL authentication

harmony-py provides many other conveniences when using Harmony services. For these reasons harmony-py is the suggested way to access Harmony in code. For complete details see the documentation.

§ Using the Service APIs

This section provides an introduction to the Harmony service APIs for launching services for collections using OGC Coverages API, OGC EDR API, or WMS.

Each API requires a CMR collection concept ID or short name, and transformations can be performed using one of the following endpoints ({collectionId} and {variable} are placeholders):

https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/{collectionId}/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/{variable}/coverage/rangeset

§ OGC Coverages Request Parameters

The primary Harmony services REST API conforms to the OGC Coverages API version 1.0.0. As such it accepts parameters in the URL path as well as query parameters.

§ URL Path Parameters

parameter	description
collection	(required) This is the NASA EOSDIS collection or data product. There are two options for inputting a collection of interest: 1. Provide a concept ID, which is an ID provided in the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) metadata 2. Use the data product short name, e.g. SENTINEL-1_INTERFEROGRAMS. Must be URL encoded.
variable	(required) Names or concept ids of the UMM-Var variables to be retrieved, or "all" to retrieve all variables. Multiple variables may be retrieved by separating them with a comma. The psuedo-variable "parameter_vars" may be used, in which case the variables are specified using the variable query parameter or variable form data parameter. This is useful if you need to subset using many variables.

---

Table 1 - Harmony OGC Coverages API URL path (required) parameters

§ Query Parameters

parameter	description
subset	get a subset of the coverage by slicing or trimming along one axis. Harmony supports the axes "lat" and "lon" for spatial subsetting, and "time" for temporal, regardless of the names of those axes in the data files. Harmony also supports arbitrary dimension names for subsetting on numeric ranges for that dimension.
outputCrs	reproject the output coverage to the given CRS. Recognizes CRS types that can be
interpolation	specify the interpolation method used during reprojection and scaling
scaleExtent	scale the resulting coverage along one axis to a given extent
scaleSize	scale the resulting coverage along one axis to a given size
concatenate	requests results to be concatenated into a single result
granuleId	the CMR Granule ID for the granule which should be retrieved
granuleName	passed to the CMR search as the readable_granule_name parameter. Supports * and ? wildcards for multiple and single character matches. Wildcards can be used any place in the name, but leading wildcards are discouraged as they require a lot of resources for the underlying search
grid	the name of the output grid to use for regridding requests. The name must match the UMM
point	only collections that have a geometry that contains a spatial point are selected. The spatial point is provided as two numbers: * Longitude, coordinate axis 1 * Latitude, coordinate axis 2 The coordinate reference system of the values is WGS84 longitude/latitude.
width	number of columns to return in the output coverage
height	number of rows to return in the output coverage
forceAsync	if "true", override the default API behavior and always treat the request as asynchronous
format	the mime-type of the output format to return
label	the label(s) to add for the job that runs the request. Multiple labels can be specified as a comma-separated list. A label can contain any characters except for commas up to a 255 character limit. Labels will be rejected if deemed inappropriate. Labels are always converted to lower case.
maxResults	limits the number of input files processed in the request
skipPreview	if "true", override the default API behavior and never auto-pause jobs
ignoreErrors	if "true", continue processing a request to completion even if some items fail. If "false" immediately fail the request. Defaults to true
destinationUrl	destination url specified by the client; currently only s3 link urls are supported (e.g. s3://my-bucket-name/mypath) and will result in the job being run asynchronously
variable	the variable(s) to be used for variable subsetting. Multiple variables can be specified as a comma-separated list. This parameter is only used if the url variable path element is "parameter_vars"
average	requests the data to be averaged over either time or area

---

Table 2 - Harmony OGC Coverages API query parameters

For POST requests the body should be multipart/form-data and may also contain

• shape: perform a shapefile subsetting request on a supported collection by passing the path to a GeoJSON file (*.json or .geojson), an ESRI Shapefile (.zip or .shz), or a kml file (.kml) as the "shape" parameter

A sample OGC Coverages request is as follows

curl -Lnbj "https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/C1234208438-POCLOUD/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/collections/bathymetry/coverage/rangeset?maxResults=1"

COPY

Example 12 - Curl command for an OGC Coverages request

§ OGC EDR Request Parameters

The Harmony services REST API also conforms to the OGC EDR API version 1.1.0. As such it accepts parameters in the URL path as well as query parameters. Currently only the /position, /cube, /trajectory and /area routes are supported for spatial subsetting. Other EDR routes will be supported in the future.

§ URL Path Parameters

parameter	description
collection	(required) This is the NASA EOSDIS collection or data product. There are two options for inputting a collection of interest: 1. Provide a concept ID, which is an ID provided in the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) metadata 2. Use the data product short name, e.g. SENTINEL-1_INTERFEROGRAMS. Must be URL encoded.

---

Table 3 - Harmony OGC EDR API URL path (required) parameters

§ Common OGC EDR Query Parameters

parameter	description
z	Define the vertical levels to return data from. The value will override any vertical values defined in the BBOX query parameter. A range to return data for all levels between and including 2 defined levels i.e. z=minimum value/maximum value. For instance if all values between and including 10m and 100m z=10/100 A list of height values can be specified, i.e. z=value1,value2,value3. For instance if values at 2m, 10m and 80m are required z=2,10,80 An Arithmetic sequence using Recurring height intervals, the difference is the number of recurrences is defined at the start and the amount to increment the height by is defined at the end, i.e. z=Rn/min height/height interval. So if the request was for 20 height levels 50m apart starting at 100m: z=R20/100/50 When not specified data from all available heights SHOULD be returned
datetime	Either a date-time or an interval. Date and time expressions adhere to RFC 3339. Intervals may be bounded or half-bounded (double-dots at start or end). Examples: * A date-time: "2018-02-12T23:20:50Z" * A bounded interval: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/2018-03-18T12:31:12Z" * Half-bounded intervals: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/.." or "../2018-03-18T12:31:12Z" Only resources that have a temporal property that intersects the value of datetime are selected. If a feature has multiple temporal properties, it is the decision of the server whether only a single temporal property is used to determine the extent or all relevant temporal properties.
parameter-name	Names or concept ids of the UMM-Var variables to be retrieved. Without parameter-name or a value of "all" to retrieve all variables. Multiple variables may be retrieved by separating them with a comma.
crs	reproject the output coverage to the given CRS. Recognizes CRS types that can be
f	the mime-type of the output format to return

§ Harmony Extended Query Parameters for OGC EDR Routes

parameter	description
concatenate	requests results to be concatenated into a single result
forceAsync	if "true", override the default API behavior and always treat the request as asynchronous
destinationUrl	destination url specified by the client; currently only s3 link urls are supported (e.g. s3://my-bucket-name/mypath) and will result in the job being run asynchronously
granuleId	the CMR Granule ID for the granule which should be retrieved
granuleName	passed to the CMR search as the readable_granule_name parameter. Supports * and ? wildcards for multiple and single character matches. Wildcards can be used any place in the name, but leading wildcards are discouraged as they require a lot of resources for the underlying search
grid	the name of the output grid to use for regridding requests. The name must match the UMM
ignoreErrors	if "true", continue processing a request to completion even if some items fail. If "false" immediately fail the request. Defaults to true
interpolation	specify the interpolation method used during reprojection and scaling
label	the label(s) to add for the job that runs the request. Multiple labels can be specified as a comma-separated list. A label can contain any characters up to a 255 character limit, but if a label contains commas the request can only be a POST with with the label field in the body. It is best practice to avoid commas in labels. Labels will be rejected if deemed inappropriate. Labels are always converted to lower case.
maxResults	limits the number of input files processed in the request
scaleExtent	scale the resulting coverage along one axis to a given extent
scaleSize	scale the resulting coverage along one axis to a given size
skipPreview	if "true", override the default API behavior and never auto-pause jobs
subset	get a subset of the coverage by slicing or trimming along one axis. Harmony supports arbitrary dimension names for subsetting on numeric ranges for that dimension.
height	number of rows to return in the output coverage
width	number of columns to return in the output coverage
average	requests the data to be averaged over either time or area

Table 5 - Harmony extended parameters for all OGC EDR API routes

§ OGC EDR Cube Subsetting Query Parameters

parameter

description

bbox

The bounding box is provided as four or six numbers, depending on whether the coordinate reference system includes a vertical axis (height or depth): * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 1 * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 2 * Minimum value, coordinate axis 3 (optional) * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 1 * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 2 * Maximum value, coordinate axis 3 (optional) The coordinate reference system of the values is WGS 84 longitude/latitude (http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84) unless a different coordinate reference system is specified in the parameter bbox-crs. For WGS 84 longitude/latitude the values are in most cases the sequence of minimum longitude, minimum latitude, maximum longitude and maximum latitude. However, in cases where the box spans the antimeridian the first value (west-most box edge) is larger than the third value (east-most box edge). If the vertical axis is included, the third and the sixth number are the bottom and the top of the 3-dimensional bounding box. If a feature has multiple spatial geometry properties, it is the decision of the server whether only a single spatial geometry property is used to determine the extent or all relevant geometries.

map_resolution	N	the DPI resolution for image output
granuleId	N	the CMR Granule ID for the granule of interest
granuleName	N	passed to the CMR search as the readable_granule_name parameter. Supports * and ? wildcards for multiple and single character matches. Wildcards can be used any place in the name, but leading wildcards are discouraged as they require a lot of resources for the underlying search

---

Table 13 - Additional (non-OGC) query parameters for Harmony WMS queries

GetCapabilities requests return an XML document, while GetMap requests return an image.

§ Available Services

Harmony requests are declarative rather than imperative, so a request specifies the particular data of interest, time range of interest, spatial bounds of interest, desired output format, etc. Harmony then matches this declaration against available services and invokes the matching services on behalf of the user. All of which is to say the user does not request specific services directly. Despite this, it can be useful for a user to know what services are available, what their capabilities are, and which services can work together.

§ Service Versions

Harmony services run in containers in pods in a Kubernetes cluster. It is not possible for users to interact directly with these pods, but it may be useful to know some of the details about the running versions. The specific docker image and tag for each service can be retrieved from the versions route.

§ Service Capabilities

The following tables provide an overview of the deployed services with a description of each and what capabilities they provide.

§ User Owned Buckets for Harmony Output

Users may store Harmony output directly in their own S3 buckets by specifying the bucket/path in their requests with the destinationUrl parameter. For example

https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/C1234208438-POCLOUD/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/collections/bathymetry/coverage/rangeset?concatenate=true&subset=lon(-160%3A160)&subset=lat(-80%3A80)&skipPreview=true&maxResults=1&destinationUrl=3%3A%2F%2Fmy-staging-bucket

COPIED
COPY

Example 17 - Request to store output in user owned S3 bucket

would place the output in s3://my-example-bucket. Note that the value of destinationUrl must be a full S3 path and must be URL encoded.

Four things are required to enable Harmony to write to your bucket.

1. The bucket must be in the same AWS region as Harmony, i.e., us-west-2.
2. The bucket must have ACLs disabled. This is the default for S3 buckets.
3. Harmony must have permission to write to the bucket.
4. Harmony must have permission to check the bucket's location.

Numbers three and four on the list can be accomplished by setting an appropriate bucket policy. You can obtain a bucket policy for your bucket using the policy generator at https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/staging-bucket-policy and passing in the bucketPath query parameter. For example

https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/staging-bucket-policy?bucketPath=my-example-bucket

The bucketPath parameter can be one of the following

1. A bucket name, e.g., my-example-bucket
2. A bucket name + path, e.g., my-example-bucket/my/path
3. A full S3 url with our without a path, e.g., s3://my-example-bucket/my/path

The third option is compatible with the destinationUrl parameter for requests.

Bucket names must conform to the AWS bucket naming rules. The path must conform to the AWS object key naming guidelines. Characters listed under "Characters to Avoid" are not supported.

A sample policy generated by the endpoint is shown below:

{
  'Version': '2012-10-17',
  'Statement': [
    {
      'Sid': 'write permission',
      'Effect': 'Allow',
      'Principal': {
        'AWS': 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root',
      },
      'Action': 's3:PutObject',
      'Resource': 'arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*',
    },
    {
      'Sid': 'get bucket location permission',
      'Effect': 'Allow',
      'Principal': {
        'AWS': 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root',
      },
      'Action': 's3:GetBucketLocation',
      'Resource': 'arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket',
    },

§ Skipping preview

Jobs involving many granules will by default pause automatically after the first few granules are processed. This allows the user to examine the output to make sure things look right before waiting for the entire job to complete. If things looks good, the user can resume the paused job, if not they can cancel the paused job.

Note: The current threshold in this environment for the number of granules that will trigger automatic pausing of a job is 100.

If a user wishes to skip this step they can pass the skipPreview flag mentioned in the Services API section, or they can tell an already running job to skip the preview using the following:

§ Labeling Jobs

Labels can be applied to a job when a Harmony request is made using the label parameter documented in the Services API section. After a request is made the labels can be viewed in the job status page and in the workflow-ui.

Labels can be added to existing jobs by the job owner using an HTTP PUT request and specifying the job IDs and labels in the body of the PUT. An EDL bearer token must be provided and a Content-Type: application/json header. A curl example that adds two labels to two different jobs follows:

curl -bj https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/labels -XPUT -d '{"jobID": ["<YOUR FIRST JOB ID>", "<YOUR SECOND JOB ID>"], "label": ["foo", "bar"]}'  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: bearer <YOUR BEARER TOKEN>"

COPY

Similarly, labels can be removed from one or more jobs using an HTTP DELETE:

curl -bj https://harmony.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov/labels   -XDELETE -d '{"jobID": ["<YOUR FIRST JOB ID>", "<YOUR SECOND JOB ID>"], "label": ["foo"]}'  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: bearer <YOUR BEARER TOKEN>"

§ Getting in region S3 AWS access keys using the cloud-access API

Harmony supports analysis in place without forcing a user to download the outputs from their requests. The results for each harmony request are stored in an AWS S3 bucket in the us-west-2 region. In order to access these results natively in S3, the user can get temporary AWS access credentials using the harmony cloud-access endpoints. Note that data can only be accessed from within the us-west-2 region.

§ Get AWS S3 access credentials as JSON

Example 29 - Getting AWS S3 access credentials as JSON using the cloud-access API

The returned JSON response returns fields required to set the AWS S3 access credentials:

field	description
AccessKeyId	The AWS access key ID.
SecretAccessKey	The AWS secret access key.
SessionToken	The AWS session token associated with the access keys.
Expiration	The date and time when the access credentials expire.

Example 31 - Getting backend service versions using the versions API

The returned JSON response is an array of service version information with the following fields:

field	description
name	The name of the backend service chain as defined in services.yml.
images	An array of the images used in the service chain.

Each image has the following fields:

field	description
image	The name of the docker image.
tag	The docker image tag.
lastUpdated	(optional) The time the image was last updated if available.
imageDigest	(optional) The image digest if available.
