    From the README

    Python and JavaScript client libraries for calling the Google Earth Engine API.

    Important Note: Access to Google Earth Engine is currently only available to registered users. The API is in active development, and users should expect the API to change. When (not if) API changes occur, applications that use the API will likely need to be updated.

    In order to be more responsive to bug reports and feature requests, we are currently using the Google Issue Tracker rather than the GitHub Issue tracker. Please see the Get Help page of the Earth Engine documentation for details on how to browse and submit issues to Issue Tracker.
