Earthdata Forum

I am currently in the process of creating a meteorological geoportal for which I need to show a timeline similar to the one that can be seen on the EDSC platform. I understand that the API is available for public use https://github.com/nasa/earthdata-search/tree/main
and I have basic programming knowledge, however I have not been able to correctly install it to view the timeline plugin. I would kindly appreciate help regarding this problem with maybe a different git tutorial or related. Thank you

Good morning!

Earthdata Search doesn't have it's own API, its a UI that sits on top of CMR (https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/site/docs/search/api.html). Earthdata Search did make the timeline component itself a separate open source tool (https://github.com/nasa/edsc-timeline) that can be utilized in other projects.

If this is not what you're looking for, CMR does offer an API that returns timeline data, documentation for that can be found here https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/site/docs/search/api.html#search-response-as-granule-timeline

Good afternoon, thank you for responding, in fact yes, what I am looking for is to use this plugin https://github.com/nasa/edsc-timeline as a widget within an experience builder file from arcgis. I tried to install it but it has prerequisites? Still having issues can we talk through email?

It'd be more beneficial to the community if you posted here or posted an issue on the repository for transparency, it's possible that other users may be having similar issues.
