Hi there,
i'm new to SoilGrids community, but i was wondering if anyone knows whether there is a possibility to crop the provided .tifs (https://files.isric.org/soilgrids/data/recent/) to a target extent before/while downloading? I need nearly all of them for a research project, but to download and crop them on my personal computer would take a huge amount of time and seems impracticable.
As far as I understand, I can use the REST API to download SoilGrid datasets for specific spatial points as a GeoJSON file. But could I use the API to download datasets for a whole country and convert them into a raster using some kind of interpolation? Or is it possible to download cropped raster-datasets using the API?
Thank you so much for your help.
Regards,
Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,
there are two options to download grid segments from SoilGrids.org:
1. Download by tile: when you click on the map an option is shown in the Download menu to obtain a 2 by 2 degree tile around the point.
2. Download by political border: by selecting the country and region of interest in the Download menu. This functionality is only available for the aggregated grids at spatial resolution of 32.4 minutes of arc.
Regards.
