Spire soil moisture products are accessible via API and bulk download. All datasets include metadata describing spatial reference, units, quality indicators, and processing version.
Getting started¶
For new users, the recommended workflow is:
Review the product descriptions to select the appropriate dataset
Understand the file naming convention and file format
Use the API to retrieve data
Apply quality filtering as needed for your application
Explore Python examples for analysis workflows
See the Quickstart tutorial for a step-by-step introduction.
File naming convention¶
Filenames encode key metadata including product type, acquisition time, spatial resolution, region of interest, and processing version. This allows you to identify files without opening them and supports automated parsing.
See: File naming
File formats¶
Products are distributed in widely used geospatial formats suitable for scientific analysis, GIS applications, and data processing pipelines. Each format preserves geolocation, metadata, and quality information.
See: File formats
API access¶
Data can be retrieved programmatically using Spire’s API, enabling integration into operational systems, dashboards, and automated analyses.
