I have already downloaded images (20180910_073032_104a, 20180922_080435_100a, 20181015_080958_0f15 and more (PSScene4Band)).

How I can get metadata (sun_elevation, cloud_cover, footprint geometry) for each image by their ID from planet CLI or python client library?

thanks!

  Hi Alexander,

  You can use the CLI to get the metadata in JSON format using the following command:
  planet -k YOUR_PLANET_API_KEY data search --item-type PSScene4Band --string-in id 20180910_073032_104a,20180922_080435_100a,20181015_080958_0f15

  To save it to a JSON file on your local filesystem you can do the following:
  planet -k YOUR_PLANET_API_KEY data search --item-type PSScene4Band --string-in id 20180910_073032_104a,20180922_080435_100a,20181015_080958_0f15 > metadata.json

  Please have a look at the recent forum post of my colleague Sam who put together a great cheat sheet for the PLanet CLI: https://support.planet.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360021787993-Cheat-Sheet-Planet-Command-Line-Interface

  Another helpful resource is the examples from the CLI documentation: https://planetlabs.github.io/planet-client-python/cli/examples.html
  
  I hope that gets you started.
  Best,
  Grischa
