Change Log

Here you can find release highlights, bug fixes, and other updates as we continue to develop and improve the OpenET API.

v2.0.4 (06-04-2024)

Raster Metadata date_ingested (Deprecated)

We are updating the metadata keyword from date_ingested to build_date.

2013-2015+ Added to Public Data Catalog (Addition)

OpenET monthly model datasets are now available from 2013-2023 in the Google Earth Engine public data catalog and are now accessible through the API.

EECUs Showing 0's (Fixed)

Fixed a bug which was not correctly displaying EECU compute use for exported data.

Super Sampling to 10m (Addition)

Raster image generation now supports 10m resampling for increased fidelity for analysis.

Rapid Query Issue (Fixed)

When querying the API rapidly some requests return a 401 error incorrectly. This is now resolved.

Upload geoJSON (Fixed)

Fixed a bug when using the account/upload endpoint in which the resulting call to retrieve the file would fail during high volume server autoscaling.

v2.0.3 (04-05-2024)

Forecasted Reference ET (Addition)

Using NOAA's FRET product eto data can now be queried for 7 day forecasts. Change reference_et to "fret" and date_range to the current day and 7 days into the future. Note this is experimental and has not yet been fully evaluated for accuracy.

Raster Point & Polygon Daily Data Increase (Improvement)

We've increased the limit from 365 days to 10 years. With large polygons, you can run into memory limits with this update.

v2.0.2 (03-12-2024)

Megaliter Calculation (Fixed)

When using the multipolygon endpoints the hectares and megaliter calculations were off by a factor of 10.

Personal Bucket Export (New Feature)

Exports to a personal Google Bucket are now supported. This new parameter supersedes drive exports even if your Cloud Project is linked. See FAQ for more details.

v2.0.1 (02-09-2024)

Export Return queue_number (Deprecated)

Calculating queue placement has become too slow with the latest updates to the Earth Engine API and our growing user base. This return feature has been removed which will on average result in a 42x time reduction when exporting files.

Geodatabase Precipitation (Fixed)

In some areas precipitation data preloaded in the geodatabase was incorrectly projected resulting in erroneous data.

v2.0.0 (10-03-2023)

Duplicate Drive Folder (Bug)

When exporting files to Google Drive, the export folder may be duplicated. As far as we are aware, this is a bug within the latest version of Google Earth Engine's API. Try creating the folder before exporting.
