Adding new datasets to Open Data Cube using Python API

Question

I am having trouble indexing GeoTIFF files using the Python API. I have managed to generate a .yml file for my .tif file and would like to now add it to the index. Basically what datacube dataset add XYZ.yml would do.

I was able to find

dc.index.datasets.add(dataset)

I then created the dataset:

yml = yaml.safe_load(ymlfile) # ymlfile is the corresponding XYZ.yml
dataset=datacube.model.Dataset(???,cfg)

but I can't seem to figure out what the DatasetType should be.

Answer 1

A "Dataset Type" is a Product Definition, as documented here.

The simplest way to programmatically get a document indexed is documented here.

A slightly different example is captured in code here.
