ee.data.makeDownloadUrl

  • The ee.data.makeDownloadUrl(id) method creates a download URL from a download ID and token.

  • This method takes a DownloadId as an argument and returns a String representing the download URL.

  • Examples show how to use this method in both JavaScript and Python environments, demonstrating how to obtain a download ID and then generate the corresponding download URL.

Create a download URL from a docid and token.

Returns the download URL.

UsageReturns
ee.data.makeDownloadUrl(id)String
ArgumentTypeDetails
idDownloadIdA download id and token.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// A Sentinel-2 surface reflectance image.
var img = ee.Image('COPERNICUS/S2_SR/20210109T185751_20210109T185931_T10SEG');

// A small region within the image.
var region = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.0859, 37.0436, -122.0626, 37.0586);

var downloadId = ee.data.getDownloadId({
    image: img,
    name: 'single_band',
    bands: ['B3', 'B8', 'B11'],
    region: region
});
print('Single-band GeoTIFF files wrapped in a zip file',
      ee.data.makeDownloadUrl(downloadId));
