We are thrilled to welcome you to CREODIAS 2.0. 
CREODIAS users will benefit from:

• a new portal and improved UX
• a new billing system
• a new e-commerce system
• a new customer portal
• a new support ticketing system

Customer accounts were migrated to the new billing system. The entire cloud environment was remained unchanged.

CREODIAS 2.0 is the first commercial element of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. Users will benefit from the integration of both portals thanks to e.g., federated identity, access to catalogue, and additional services.

In addition to the previously announced upcoming launch of the new EODATA catalogue, we are happy to provide you with a new frontend service for searching and exploring data - Data Explorer. This is a new service that draws on the last few years of our and our users' experience.

From now on, Data Explorer will provide such features as:

  • uploading your own AOI in Polygon (geojson, kml)
  • supporting for multipolygon (.wkt)
  • advanced, more intuitive searching
  • searching by type e.g. Optical, Radar, Altimetry, DEM
  • on-the-fly created Query URL

Along with Data Explorer, users will gain access to an additional feature called Workspace, in which you will be able to do the following with greater ease:

  • order fresh data
  • order archived data
  • order data that requires processing
  • view your orders
  • track the progress of your orders
  • view the history of your orders in one place.

Our previous Finder tool is still available, however, as of February 20th it will no longer be supported and developed. Finder uses a new catalogue and includes both - old and new products, however, some services may have limited functionalities.

Therefore, we recommend using the new Data Explorer solution.

Please see FAQs regarding Data Explorer:

We are thrilled to announce the introduction of a new Catalogue API for the CREODIAS data catalogue! New API is already accessible. Currently, the new Catalogue API enables users to perform an advanced search within the CREODIAS data catalogue in three well-known standards: OData, RESTO Open Search, and STAC.

Old Finder API (RESTO) will be deprecated in March 2023. New products will only be published until the 20th of February 2023. 

Users can access interfaces under the following links:

Users are encouraged to migrate to the OData interface as the most efficient option. Documentation of the new OData API is available here: https://creodias.eu/eo-data-catalogue-api-manual.

New Catalogue API relies on a completely new database which has been adjusted to European Space Agency's Product Metadata Mapping therefore attributes, especially for Sentinel data, have been reorganized and renamed to match the official ESA documentation. These new attribute names (e.g. productType) and values (e.g. GRD) are present in OData and STAC interfaces. To preserve backward compatibility, both old and new attribute names can be used in the RESTO interface, however only new values can be applied.

To help RESTO users migrate, the linked table contains a comparison of old and new attribute values. The details of new attributes' values are also available under RESTO describe endpoints (e.g. https://datahub.creodias.eu/resto/api/collections/Sentinel1/describe.xml ). 

New Catalogue RESTO interface preserves backward compatibility with the old RESTO (Finder API) in terms of:

  1. Query structure
  2. Names of search options
  3. Names of products' attributes
  4. Response structure in JSON

There is no backward compatibility in terms of attributes' values (e.g. Level 2A, L2, etc).

The following functionalities have been deprecated and will not be available:

  1. Natural Language Queries
  2. Query response in XML
  3. Pretty_query
  4. search.path

Also, we would like to inform you about additional changes in the CREODIAS data repository, that will be introduced due to the migration to new data sources and further adjustments of metadata.
On the 20th of February, the following changes will be introduced:

  1. Product paths for some new Sentinel products will be changed according to the table linked below. Historical data will not be migrated, it will stay under the current paths, therefore it is recommended to use the Data Catalogue to search for products and retrieve product paths from the response generated by the API.

    Example of a changed path in the repository for Sentinel-1 GRD IW products:
    PRODUCT LOCATION FOR ALL DATA INGESTED BEFORE FEBRUARY 20th: /eodata/Sentinel-1/SAR/GRD/2023/02/19/S1A_IW_GRDH_1SDV_20230119Txxxxxx_20230119Txxxxxx_yyyyyy_zzzzzz_wwww.SAFE
    PRODUCT LOCATION FOR ALL DATA INGESTED AFTER FEBRUARY 20th: /eodata/Sentinel-1/SAR/IW_GRDH_1S/2023/02/20/S1A_IW_GRDH_1SDV_20230220Txxxxxx_20230220Txxxxxx_yyyyyy_zzzzzz_wwww.SAFE
  2. As already announced the product types (value of productType field in the metadata) in the new Data Catalogue will change for multiple collections. The most significant change concerns Sentinel-1 where the legacy RAW, GRD, SLC, and OCN types will be changed to more detailed as described in the linked table.
    To allow the users to smoothly migrate from the legacy product types to more detailed product types both new and old values for Sentinels 1,2,3 will be usable in the catalogue search until the end of the migration process to the new Copernicus Data Access Service in June 2023 (https://scihub.copernicus.eu/news/News01130).
    After the migration, only the new product types will be available.
    This temporary feature will only be applicable for inclusive search (using =/eq in the OData filter). Mapping will not be present for exclusive search (not/not eq).

    Example of changes required for the RESTO API query for Sentinel-2 L1C:
    LEGACY RESTO API: https://finder.creodias.eu/resto/api/collections/Sentinel2/search.json?maxRecords=10&startDate=2023-01-19T00%3A00%3A00Z&sortParam=startDate&sortOrder=descending&productType=L1C&status=all&dataset=ESA-DATASET

NEW RESTO API: https://datahub.creodias.eu/resto/api/collections/Sentinel2/search.json?maxRecords=10&startDate=2023-01-19T00%3A00%3A00Z&sortParam=startDate&sortOrder=descending&productType=S2MSI1C&status=all&dataset=ESA-DATASET

The best performance and flexibility can be achieved when using OData query:
Sentinel-2 L1C:
https://datahub.creodias.eu/odata/v1/Products?$filter=Collection/Name%20eq%20%27SENTINEL-2%27%20and%20Attributes/OData.CSC.StringAttribute/any(att:att/Name%20eq%20%27productType%27%20and%20att/OData.CSC.StringAttribute/Value%20eq%20%27S2MSI1C%27)%20and%20ContentDate/Start%20gt%202022-05-03T00:00:00.000Z%20and%20ContentDate/Start%20lt%202022-05-21T00:00:00.000Z

Sentinel-1 SLC:
https://datahub.creodias.eu/odata/v1/Products?$filter=Collection/Name%20eq%20%27SENTINEL-1%27%20and%20contains(Name,%27SLC%27)%20and%20ContentDate/Start%20gt%202022-05-03T00:00:00.000Z%20and%20ContentDate/Start%20lt%202022-05-21T00:00:00.000Z

Once again, we strongly recommend adopting OData as a replacement for the legacy RESTO API to unlock the full potential of the new CREODIAS data catalogue.
Documentation of the new OData API is available here: https://creodias.eu/eo-data-catalogue-api-manual.

Please be advised that if you have any questions about the new Data Catalog API or experience any problems or errors while implementing the changes or testing applications using the new catalogue after the February 20 changes, please contact our customer support department at support@cloudferro.com.
