INPE Brazil CBERS & Amazonia-1 Imagery Catalog Scraper

Extracts satellite scene metadata from Brazil's INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais) imagery catalog, covering the CBERS-4, CBERS-4A, and Amazonia-1 Earth observation programs.

What it does

Queries the INPE CDSR STAC API (https://www.dgi.inpe.br/lgi-stac) to retrieve scene records from the Brazilian satellite imagery archive. Each record includes acquisition metadata, geographic coordinates, cloud cover, spectral band information, and direct download URLs for GeoTIFF files.

The actor supports filtering by:

• Collection (specific satellite/sensor combinations)
• Bounding box (geographic area of interest)
• Date range (acquisition date)
• Maximum cloud cover
