CLI - New optional parameter to download the quicklook of products

[ahuarte47]

Congratulations for your amazing software!

It would great that search command parameter of CLI tool had a new option to download the quicklook of a product. It could work in colaboration of current --storage parameter. Maybe something similar to --quicklook in sentinelsat module.

Product class already has this method,

Can be this new option interesting?

Hi, and many thanks!

This new option for the CLI is indeed interesting. What would you think of such an implementation, that would download quicklooks instead of products:

eodag download --quicklooks --search-results search_results.geojson

Thanks @sbrunato ! You are right, it seems more coherent adding this new parameter for download command instead for search command. Although when a user is analizying results of available products (For instance, what areas of his results are cloudy), he has to execute two commands. It is not a "problem" for me, but I am thinking about the more common way of an user would use this. Of course, it is up to you. Thank you very much!

The method we already implement in the Python API EOProduct.get_quicklook works on a product, or a search result.

So, to have a similar functionality in the CLI and be coherent, we should execute the command on an existing search result like:

eodag download --quicklooks --search-results search_results.geojson

or maybe better:

eodag get_quicklook --search-results search_results.geojson

That's a very good idea!

I'm not so much in favor of adding this option to eodag search, since we already have a download sub-command that's in charge of downloading stuff. I think I prefer eodag download --quicklooks --search-results search_results.geojson.
