A Python library and CLI tool for searching, downloading, and retrieving metadata of Copernicus Sentinel satellite images from data hubs. Its primary target, the Copernicus Open Access Hub, has been permanently closed, so it currently only works with alternative DHuS-based data hubs.

Use cases

  • search and download Sentinel satellite images
  • query satellite imagery by geographic footprint and cloud cover
  • retrieve metadata for Sentinel products via Python API
  • bulk download Sentinel-2 scenes for an area of interest
  • script satellite data acquisition for remote sensing workflows

When to choose

  • you need to search or download Sentinel data from a DHuS-based data hub or national mirror
  • you want a simple Python API or CLI for satellite product queries with GeoJSON footprints

When to avoid

  • you need to download from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE), which Sentinelsat does not support
  • you need a currently maintained tool for the official Copernicus distribution system
