| Usage | Returns | Dictionary.keys() | List |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: dictionary | Dictionary | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// A dictionary (e.g. results of ee.Image.reduceRegion of an S2 image).
var dict = ee.Dictionary({
B1: 182,
B2: 219,
B3: 443
});
print('The list of dictionary keys', dict.keys());
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
# A dictionary (e.g. results of ee.Image.reduceRegion of an S2 image).
dic = ee.Dictionary({
'B1': 182,
'B2': 219,
'B3': 443
})
print('The list of dictionary keys:', dic.keys().getInfo())
