Method: projects.filmstripThumbnails.create

  • The filmstripThumbnails.create method generates an ID for rendering an image composed of multiple images from a collection.

  • This method is typically used with filmstripThumbnails.getPixels to produce an image containing all elements of an ImageCollection, arranged vertically or horizontally.

  • The generated ID remains valid for a limited time, typically a few hours.

  • There is a size limit of 512*512*100 pixels across all images in the collection; exceeding this limit will result in a 400 (BAD_REQUEST) error.

  • The request is made via a POST HTTP request to https://earthengine.googleapis.com/v1beta/{parent=projects/*}/filmstripThumbnails and requires specific IAM permissions.

Creates an ID that can be used to render an image containing multiple images from a collection.

This is used in conjunction with filmstripThumbnails.getPixels. A call to filmstripThumbnails.create provides an expression and some output options. The result of filmstripThumbnails.create is an ID that represents an image that is the result of evaluating that expression and applying those options. Subsequently, calls to filmstripThumbnails.getPixels can be made to get an image showing all of the elements of an ImageCollection, concatenated top-to-bottom or side-to-side. The ID will be valid for a moderate period (a few hours).

The request is limited to 512*512*100 pixels in total, across all Images in the ImageCollection. Requests exceeding these limits will result in an error code of 400 (BAD_REQUEST).
