feat: Web Data › NASA Earthaccess and USGS NLDI by giswqs · Pull Request #538 · opengeos/RustGIS

giswqs · 2026-10-19T04:00:08Z

Part of #528.

Adds Home › Web Data › NASA Earthaccess… (global list) and Home › Web Data › United States › USGS NLDI…, both in the Web Data pane, laid out like GeoLibre's Earthaccess and NLDI panels.

NASA Earthaccess

Dataset: Popular datasets (GeoLibre's presets: ICESat-2 ATL03/06/08, GEDI L2A/L2B/L4A, HLS L30/S30, NASADEM; the cloud-hosted, newest version), or a keyword search of CMR collections with Earthdata Cloud only.
Granules: start/end dates and Search this view (CMR granules where the map is, newest first, 25 a page with Load more); their footprints drawn as one layer.
Granule cards: browse preview, date · cloud · files, Add (first GeoTIFF as a COG read in place), Download, Zoom, Details (Earthdata Search), and Files (n) with a per-file Add.
Earthdata Login token: a password field in the pane (or earthdata.login), kept in memory for the session only (like S3 credentials), never in the project. The native fetcher adds Authorization: Bearer only to https:// hosts ending earthdatacloud.nasa.gov / earthdata.nasa.gov (never urs.earthdata.nasa.gov, no user info or port), re-checked at every redirect hop so it is dropped on the presigned CloudFront/S3 hop; a redirect to urs (or a 401) becomes a clear message (no token / token refused or EULA needed).
Web app: search and footprints work (CMR sends CORS); protected files can't be read by the browser (DAACs send no CORS, and GeoLibre's relay at tiles.geolibre.app/earthdata/download only accepts GeoLibre origins), so Add is desktop-only and the pane says why; Download opens the file in a new tab.
Commands: earthdata.collections, earthdata.granules, earthdata.login, earthdata.logout, earthdata.status. Searches are in NETWORK; login/logout are user-only (never plugins; the assistant asks).

USGS NLDI

Point: a map click (crosshair while the pane is open, the point marked on the map), typed lon/lat + Trace, or Map centre; flowline direction whole / upstream / downstream.
Flowline: the pygeoapi nldi-flowtrace POST (inputs as a list, which the process actually reads; GeoLibre's object form fails server-side), falling back to the hydrolocation + COMID flowline with a synthetic raindrop path.
Basin from hydrolocation, navigation method + distance (1–9999 km), Load sources & plot (loads the navigation's sources, flowlines first, and plots), Plot another navigation layer, Clear NLDI result. Every result is a styled layer.
Commands: nldi.flowline, nldi.comid, nldi.basin, nldi.sources, nldi.navigate (all in NETWORK).
New cache::post_json / post_json_blocking (thread natively, set_poster with the browser's fetch on the web) for the flowtrace POST. NLDI 5xx errors are explained (its server often fails on unseen points).

Verified (real network)

CLI: earthdata.collections (keyword), earthdata.granules by shortName HLSL30 over Wisconsin (10 granules, footprints exported); layer.addUrl of a protected HLS COG without a token → "NASA asks for an Earthdata Login token…", with a bogus JWT → "Earthdata Login didn't accept the token…" (the token went to the DAAC and the redirect to urs was caught). No public COG was found to add (HLS/OPERA/ASTER/GEDI data links are all protected); browse JPEGs on the public bucket load as card thumbnails.
CLI: nldi.flowline at the Yahara River gage (COMID 13293750), nldi.basin, nldi.sources (21 sources), nldi.navigate UM 100 km flowlines (24) and DM 50 km nwissite (10), exported map.
ui_shot (light theme): Earthaccess keyword results; HLSL30 granules with footprints and thumbnails; Add without a token shows the token message. NLDI trace → flowline + raindrop path, basin, upstream main-stem flowlines plotted.
Unit tests: token host rules (look-alike hosts, http, ports, user info, urs), token store and JWT expiry, CMR request building (dates, antimeridian, paging bounds, bad ids), granule/collection parsing incl. hostile answers, NLDI requests/parsing incl. hostile answers; hostile_params_never_panic green; clippy -D warnings on tiles/engine/ui-egui; cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rustgis-web; pre-commit.

Not done

Downloading whole granules / ICESat-2 & GEDI .h5 opening (GeoLibre opens them in its lidar reader): Download hands the file to the browser.
Signing in with user + password for a token (GeoLibre's find_or_create_token): paste a token instead.
CMR's CMR-Hits header (total count) isn't exposed by the download path, so the pane says "Showing N" rather than "N of M".

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added NASA Earthdata search for collections and granules, with date and map-area filters, result previews, file links, and map footprints.
- Added Earthdata Login token controls for accessing eligible data files.
- Added USGS NLDI tools to trace streams from a map point or coordinates, view basins, and explore navigation routes and sources.
Documentation
- Added user-guide instructions and command examples for Earthdata and NLDI tools.

A new Web Data button beside Add Data gathers the web services and catalogs: Boundaries, OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps, Search Open Data, Source Cooperative and STAC Search move there from Add Data, which keeps local files and connections. Services covering the world go in one alphabetical list; those covering one country will go in a submenu named after it.

Home › Web Data gains ArcGIS Portal, Earthdata GIS, GeoLens, Hugging Face, Ocean Data Platform, OpenAerialMap, France › IGN LiDAR HD and United States › US Federal/State/Local GIS and USGS 3DEP DEM. Each is a portal kind of portal.search (new kinds: arcgis-portal, earthdata-gis, openaerialmap, usgs-dem, ign-lidar, geolens, huggingface, ocean-data), with portal.files listing a Hugging Face dataset's files. The US portals (24 federal, 68 state, 146 local) are a built-in catalog. Every Web Data entry, the existing STAC Search, OpenStreetMap, Boundaries, Overture Maps, Source Cooperative and Search Open Data included, now opens in a Web Data pane on the right instead of a dialog. portal.add adds an ArcGIS map or image service's whole map rather than its first sublayer.

- OpenAerialMap: with words, ask for 200 images and keep to the words before cutting to 50, rather than filtering only the newest 50. - A Socrata portal among the US catalogs says it needs words. - Hugging Face: strip the dataset page prefix once (strip_prefix). - The result count names the catalog the search began on. - A search by place stays where the map is even when view is false.

Each result is a card with the service's picture of it, what it is, who shared it and when, and Details, Portal, Zoom and Add. ArcGIS portals gain web maps (Add lists their layers), All/Imagery/Maps/ Features/Web maps chips, newest items on opening, "Showing N of M" and Load more (OpenAerialMap pages too). portal.search takes "type" and answers each dataset's kind, date and thumbnail; portal.files lists a web map's layers.

- A portal's thumbnails get the same address check as its resources. - bbox4 checks every coordinate's range. - OpenAerialMap keeps every match on a page (Load more continues after all the images fetched); LiDAR HD lists its first 50 tiles. - A new search drops the earlier results' pictures and textures. - portal.files reaches the network: the assistant asks first, plugins need the network permission; files_query has a unit test. - The guide says what the searches by place, Hugging Face listings and the Ocean Data Platform's catalogue read, and that the web app's ODP features pass through GeoLibre's relay.

NASA Earthaccess searches CMR collections (keyword or popular datasets) and a collection's granules where the map is between two dates, draws their footprints and adds a granule's GeoTIFF as a COG. An Earthdata Login token, kept for the session only, is sent only to HTTPS Earthdata data hosts and dropped on redirects leaving them. USGS NLDI traces a point's flowline (flowtrace, with the hydrolocation fallback), its basin, and navigation up- or downstream to flowlines and linked sources, each added as a layer. Part of #528.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 44fc7

The new NASA Earthaccess and USGS NLDI tools work, with some rough edges. With the NLDI pane open, map clicks can start traces instead of reaching the active tool. A failed "Load more" request can silently skip a page of results. Old footprints stay on the map after the dataset changes. Footprints that cross the antimeridian render as near-global bands. The session token is also sent to public NASA services that do not need it. These problems are bounded, but they are worth fixing soon.

Code review

I read the engine commands, the cache/POST changes, the web post_json, and the token handling in earthdata.rs. I did not read the UI files (earthaccessui.rs, nldiui.rs), the NLDI parsing in crates/tiles/src/nldi.rs, the docs, or the tests. I only skimmed the token handling.

Bugs

No definite bugs found.

Security

POST agent skips the public-only resolver (medium-low confidence). native::post and post_json_blocking use download_agent, which has no PublicOnly resolver. address::check only vets the literal URL, so a hostname that resolves to a private address (DNS rebinding) is not caught. The URLs are fixed NLDI addresses today, but post_json is a general pub API. See the inline comment at crates/tiles/src/cache.rs:763.
The Earthdata token handling looks sound:
- It is sent only over HTTPS to hosts under earthdatacloud.nasa.gov or earthdata.nasa.gov, never to the login host.
- Hosts with user info or a port are rejected.
- The token is re-checked at each redirect hop, and it is not sent to presigned URLs.
- earthdata.login and earthdata.logout are in the plugin NEVER list.

Performance

Nothing notable. The POST threads are bounded by the 60 s timeout, and reads are capped at MAX_BYTES.

Quality

The wasm fetch_post in nldi.rs falls back to a plain GET (it calls fetch), which only returns an error. That is harmless but a little odd. Returning an explicit error would be clearer. (Low confidence, nit.)
earthdata::fetch and nldi::fetch are near-duplicates, so the error-mapping differences between them could drift.

AGENTS.md

No unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code, as far as I saw.
The wasm path is covered: the browser installs a poster and post_json has a web build.
I did not check the new tl! wrapping in the UI files, or whether hostile_params_never_panic covers the new commands. They are worth confirming.

Review comments at @crates/tiles/src/earthdata.rs:
- Around line 450-459: Update the `boxes` conversion to handle
antimeridian-crossing bounds: when `w > e`, emit two polygon rings, one spanning
`w` to 180 and the other spanning -180 to `e`; otherwise preserve the existing
single-ring output. Flatten the resulting polygons into `boxes` while retaining
the current coordinate validation.
- Around line 124-128: Update is_data_host to exclude the public CMR and GIBS
hosts, including their subdomains, before accepting Earthdata hosts for token
delivery. Preserve the existing HTTPS and Earthdata-domain checks, and define or
reuse a focused list of excluded public hosts.

Review comments at @crates/ui-egui/src/earthaccessui.rs:
- Around line 210-224: Update search_granules to store the requested page in
Asked::Granules instead of advancing st.page when the request starts, then set
st.page in poll only after the granule response parses successfully. Apply the
same pattern to search_collections and collections_page so failed requests can
be retried without skipping pages.
- Around line 187-193: Update `choose` and the “Change dataset” handler so
clearing `st.granules` also removes the layer referenced by `st.footprints` from
the map and clears that reference. Preserve the existing dataset-change
behavior.

Review comments at @crates/ui-egui/src/nldiui.rs:
- Around line 119-121: Update `wants_click` to return true only when NLDI
picking is active, no request is pending, and the active session tool is
`Tool::Explore`; import `Tool` using the same path as `mapview.rs`. This guard
should also govern the existing crosshair behavior that relies on `wants_click`.

- POST through the public-only agent, so a name resolving into the local network gets no body (DNS rebinding) - Never send the Earthdata token to its public services (CMR, Earthdata Search, GIBS, Earthdata GIS) - CMR boxes across the antimeridian become two polygons; Zoom goes to a split footprint's widest part - Remove the footprints layer when the dataset changes - Count a granule or dataset page only once it has loaded - NLDI map picking takes clicks (and shows the crosshair) only with the Explore tool

Code review

I read the full diff and the redirect and agent setup in cache.rs. I did not build or run anything. The PR is well structured and the hostile-input handling is good. The redirect logic checks the token host at every hop, max_redirects(0) is set on the agents, and the new parsers are bounded. I found one security concern and a few smaller points.
