Data provider

pansat.download.providers.data_provider

A data provider is an entity from which a specific data product can be downloaded. A general data source, such as the Icare server or the Copernicus Climate Data Store, are represented as classes of data providers. This module provides the DataProvider abstract base class (ABC) that defines the general interface for data provider classes.

Abstract base class for data provider classes.

__weakref__

abstract classmethod get_available_products()

Return the names of products available from this data provider.

This method is used by each data product to determine whether it can use this provider to download data. The names provided here must therefore match the string representation returned by the product’s __str__ method.
