Output value of a specific latitude and longitude point at Python

Question

Due to my shorten explanation, I edit this question at 2020/01/20. Sorry for answerer of original.

I want the TOA reflectance value of a specific latitude / longitude band. I could do this with javascript by below code, but I could not do the same with python. I would be glad for your future help.

var start = '2018-01-01'
var end = '2018-01-16'
var lon =  134.01
var lat = 34.04
var p = ee.Geometry.Point(lon, lat) 

var imageCollection = ee.ImageCollection('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA')
  .filterDate(start, end) 
  .filterBounds(p) 

var im1 = imageCollection
  .first()
var image = ee.Image(im1);

// Extract the data 
var data_b1 = im1.select("B1").reduceRegion(ee.Reducer.mean(),p,10).get("B1")
print('B1 T1_TOA: ', data_b1)

Javascript output is this TOA reflectance:

B1 T1_TOA: 
0.25892749428749084

But at Python, it doesn't work well. Output is ComputedObject, but it does not contain TOA reflectance value.

import ee
ee.Initialize()

start = '2018-01-01'
end = '2018-01-16'
lon = 134.01
lat = 34.04
p = ee.Geometry.Point([lon, lat])

imageCollection = ee.ImageCollection('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA').filterDate(start, end).filterBounds(p)
im1 = imageCollection.first()
data_b1 = im1.select("B1").reduceRegion(ee.Reducer.mean(),p,10).get("B1")

print(data_b1)

Output is below json, not including TOA reflectance value "0.25892749428749084":

Answer 1

You need to convert the server-side object to a client-side object. Try:

print(data_b1.getInfo())

For more information on printing Earth Engine objects with the Python API see this guide.

Answer 2

I follow your python code is working. First, I sign up to Google Earth Engine at this link https://earthengine.google.com. Then I install the earthengine-api package on Google Colab. When you execute the code you will see a message asking you to authorize access needed by Earth Engine. Please follow the instructions.

Python code:

import ee

# Trigger the authentication flow.
ee.Authenticate()

# Initialize the library.
ee.Initialize()

lat = 35.1000
lon = 135.2000
p = ee.Geometry.Point([lon, lat])
start = '2017-11-21'
end = '2017-12-30'
imageCollection = ee.ImageCollection('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1').filterDate(start, end).filterBounds(p)
im1 = imageCollection.sort('CLOUD_COVER', True).first()
data_b1 = im1.select("B1").reduceRegion(ee.Reducer.mean(),p,10).get("B1")

print(data_b1)

The example of a message prompt when executing the code.

The output result.
