# Raw Data Access

{% hint style="info" %}
The authentication system for raw data access on AWS S3 is independent of the COSMOS service authentication!
{% endhint %}

## Authentication

The authentication system for raw data access on AWS S3 is independent of the COSMOS service authentication! The download of raw data can be done from within a browser or programmatically. Only folders a respective user has granted access to can be accessed. 

The AWS S3 credentials contain a selection of:

* Username
* Password
* Access key ID 
* Secret access key 
* Account ID

## Browser Access

To access data in a browser, the specific folder link a respective user has granted access to needs to be provided by ExoLabs. To successfully login, the IAM User Account ID, IAM Username and the password are needed. 

## Programmatic Access

AWS provides tools for S3 access, mainly boto3 for Python and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). AWS CLI needs to be configured before usage.

### AWS CLI

```bash
❯ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: 
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: 
Default region name [None]: eu-central-1
Default output format [None]: 
```

```
aws s3 sync s3://exolabs-swiss-project/alps Downloads/ --exclude "*" --include "2023-02-08*" --dryrun
```

{% embed url="<https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html>" %}

### AWS BOTO3

```python
import boto3
from os import path as op
from datetime import datetime

#   AWS Credentials
access_key = 'foo'
secret = 'bar'

#   Configuration
bucket = 'exolabs-swiss-project'
roi = 'alps'
product_type = 'SWE'
timestamp = '000'
doi = '8. February 2024'

# Convert Date
doi = datetime.strptime(doi, '%d. %B %Y').strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

# Download
selection = op.join(roi, doi, f'{doi}+{timestamp}_{roi}_{product_type}_product.tif')
download_to = op.basename(selection)
if not op.isfile(download_to):
    session = boto3.Session(
        aws_access_key_id=access_key,
        aws_secret_access_key=secret,
        region_name='eu-central-1'
    )
    s3 = session.client('s3')
    s3.download_file(bucket, selection, download_to)
    print(download_to)

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://exolabs-ch.gitbook.io/cosmos/raw-data-access-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
