Extend the EODAG CLI (Providers & Collections)

[alambare]

This issue proposes a clearer and more structured EODAG CLI, centered around explicit providers and collections commands, with consistent verbs and richer filtering/output options.

Providers

eodag providers list

List providers and their status.

Options:

• --enabled=true → only enabled providers
• --enabled=false → only disabled providers
• --output/-o name → return only provider IDs
• --output/-o json → JSON-formatted output

Example output:

NAME           ENABLED       LAST_FETCH
providerA      true          2026-02-05T18:15:03Z
providerB      false         2026-02-02T08:10:56Z

eodag providers describe <PROVIDER_NAME>

Return full provider metadata.

Options:

• --all/-A → describe all providers

eodag providers fetch <PROVIDER_NAME>

Fetch provider metadata (replacement for the provider-related usage of discover).
Options:

• --all/-A → fetch all providers
• --storage → same behavior as current discover storage option

Collections

eodag collections list

List all known collections.

Options:

• --providers/-p <P1,P2> → filter by provider
• --filter <CQL2-TEXT> → filter using CQL2 text syntax
• --datetime <start/end> → filter by temporal interval
• --geometry → spatial filter
• --ids → filter by collection IDs
• --output/-o id → return only collection IDs
• --output/-o json → JSON-formatted output

eodag collections describe <COLLECTION_ID>

Return full collection metadata.

Options:

--all/-A → describe all collections
