How can I get the shot_number

by loriesouza » Wed Sep 18, 2024 10:18 pm America/New_York

I am trying to plot the waveform with height metrics to distinguish vegetation classes, for this, I need the shot_number from the area of interest. I followed this educational tutorial, however, the author does not show how I can obtain it. I tried the getLayer function, but it doesn't work, and building a bbox with a coordinate that I am sure has a shot also doesn't return the value. Could someone help me?

It appears that `pyGEDI` hasn't been updated in some time. An alternative way to obtain a `shot_number` for your area of interest is by using Harmony subsetting to download the subsets. Here's an example that shows this process:
