{"name": "GeoToolkit for Google Earth Engine", "package_name": "GeoToolkit_for_Google_Earth_Engine", "description": "Select an area of interest and prepare satellite imagery, spectral index, population and building dataset exports from Google Earth Engine in QGIS.", "about": "**GeoToolkit for Google Earth Engine** is a QGIS plugin developed to streamline access to geospatial datasets hosted on Google Earth Engine through an integrated and guided GIS workflow. It enables users to define an area of interest, explore available datasets, configure processing parameters, and manage raster and vector data exports directly from QGIS.\r\n\r\nThe plugin provides access to a range of Earth observation, environmental, population, and building-related datasets, including Landsat RGB and false-colour imagery, Sentinel-2 RGB imagery, Landsat and Sentinel-2 spectral indices, WorldPop population estimates, Open Buildings building-height data, and building footprint datasets from supported providers. Dataset-specific descriptions, spatial coverage information, reference imagery, and attribution details are provided to help users select appropriate data for their analysis.\r\n\r\n**Features:**\r\n- Define an area of interest using an existing polygon layer, selected features, or the full layer extent.\r\n- Browse available datasets, including descriptions, spatial coverage, reference imagery, and attribution information.\r\n- Configure dataset-specific parameters, including acquisition dates, cloud masking, spectral index sources, analysis years, image bands, and vector tile identifiers.\r\n- Download raster datasets directly to local storage or submit exports to Google Drive.\r\n- Submit supported vector datasets as Google Earth Engine table export tasks to Google Drive.\r\n- Monitor active export tasks, processing status, elapsed time, and download history.\r\n- Automatically load completed local downloads into the active QGIS project.\r\n- Manage multiple dataset requests through an integrated export and download workflow.\r\n\r\n**Notes and Requirements:** An active internet connection and an authenticated Google Earth Engine-enabled Google Cloud Project are required for Earth Engine operations. Users may be prompted to install additional Python dependencies in the QGIS Python environment. Export availability, processing time, spatial coverage, resolution, maximum export dimensions, and other limitations depend on the selected dataset, provider, and Google Earth Engine service restrictions.\r\n\r\n**Data Attribution and Third-Party Resources:** This plugin provides access to datasets maintained by Google Earth Engine and various independent data providers. The underlying datasets remain the property of their respective providers and are subject to their individual licences, terms of use, attribution requirements, and usage restrictions. Users are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable terms before downloading, redistributing, publishing, or otherwise using exported data. The inclusion of a dataset in this plugin does not imply ownership, endorsement, or affiliation with its original provider.\r\n\r\n**Disclaimer:** This plugin is provided on an \"as is\" and \"as available\" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The developers make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, availability, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose of the datasets, processing results, or export services accessed through the plugin. Data availability, service performance, and third-party API functionality may change without notice. Users are responsible for independently validating downloaded data and analytical outputs before using them for research, operational, commercial, or policy-related decisions.\r\n\r\nThe developers shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other losses or damages arising from the use of, inability to use, or reliance on this plugin, its outputs, or third-party datasets and services, to the extent permitted by applicable law.\r\n\r\n**Third-Party Affiliation:** This plugin is an independent QGIS tool and is not developed, endorsed, sponsored, or officially affiliated with Google, Google Earth Engine, or the providers of the datasets made accessible through it.
