GeoJSON
With a GeoJSON Feature as a file <aoi.geojson>, search for recent imagery with:
sat-search search --url https://earth-search.aws.element84.com --intersects aoi.geojson --datetime 2019-01-01/2019-05-01Cloud Free Imagery
Search the entire archive for cloud-free imagery:
sat-search search --url https://earth-search.aws.element84.com --intersects aoi.geojson -p eo:cloud_cover<5Limit Searches
Since Earth Search contains multiple collections, it can also be helpful to limit search to a specific collection:
sat-search search --url https://earth-search.aws.element84.com --intersects aoi.geojson --datetime 2019-01-01/2019-05-01 -c landsat-8-l1
