ee_Initialize

Authenticate and Initialize Earth Engine

Description

Authorize rgee to manage Earth Engine resources, Google Drive, and Google Cloud Storage. The ee_initialize() via web-browser will ask users to sign into your Google account and allows you to grant permission to manage resources. This function is a wrapper around rgee::ee$Initialize().

Usage

ee_Initialize(
  email = NULL,
  drive = FALSE,
  gcs = FALSE,
  display = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

`email`	Character (optional, e.g. `data.colec.fbf@gmail.com`). The email argument is used to create a folder inside the path `~/.config/earthengine/` that save all credentials for a specific Google identity.
`drive`	Logical (optional). If TRUE, the drive credential is cached in the path `~/.config/earthengine/`.
`gcs`	Logical (optional). If TRUE, the Google Cloud Storage credential is cached in the path `~/.config/earthengine/`.
`display`	Logical. If TRUE, display the earthengine authentication URL.
`quiet`	Logical. Suppress info messages.

Details

ee_Initialize(...) can manage Google Drive, and Google Cloud Storage resources using the R packages googledrive and googlecloudStorageR, respectively. By default, rgee does not require them. These are only necessary to enable rgee I/O functionality. All user credentials are saved in the directory ~/.config/earthengine/, if a user does not specify the email argument all user credentials are saved in a subdirectory called ~/.config/earthengine/ndef.

Value

No return value, called for initializing the earthengine-api.

Examples

## Not run: 
library(rgee)

# Simple init - Load just the Earth Engine credential
ee_Initialize()
ee_user_info()

## End(Not run)
