New version of the EUMETSAT Data Access Client released

To make it easier for our users to interact with EUMETSAT’s Data Access services, we have released an updated version of our Data Access Client. This release adds support for Sentinel-specific search capabilities of Data Store to the CLI.

The EUMETSAT Data Access Client (EUMDAC) simplifies the way users can discover, search, download, and customise data contained in the Data Store. Instead of writing lengthy code to download a particular product type for a specific time range, the user can do this with one or a few simple commands, invoking the client. EUMDAC is available as a Python library and a command-line executable (CLI).
