Earth Engine Automatic Authentication on Google Colab¶

Step 1: Locating the Earth Engine Token¶

1. Locate the Earth Engine token on your computer by navigating to the following file path based on your operating system:

   • Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\.config\earthengine\credentials
   • Linux: /home/USERNAME/.config/earthengine/credentials
   • MacOS: /Users/USERNAME/.config/earthengine/credentials

2. Open the credentials file and copy the entire content to the clipboard.

   Note: Ensure that you do not share the content of the credentials file with others to prevent unauthorized access to your Earth Engine account.

Step 2: Creating the Secret in Google Colab¶

1. Open your Google Colab notebook and click on the secrets tab.
2. Create a new secret with the name EARTHENGINE_TOKEN.
3. Paste the content from the clipboard into the Value input box of the created secret.
4. Toggle the button on the left to allow notebook access to the secret.

Step 3: Installing the Required Version of geemap¶

Ensure that you have installed geemap version 0.29.3 or later, as only these versions support the automatic authentication feature.

%pip install -U geemap

%pip install -U geemap
