Bulk Metadata Service

By Landsat Missions

The files on this page contain the complete metadata records for the Landsat Collection 2 Level-1, Landsat Collection 2 Level-2, and U.S. Analysis Ready Data datasets. The files are updated daily. 

These files are quite large and may not be suitable for direct downloads. As they are structured to be machine-readable, programming libraries and data tools may be used for more efficient viewing. 

To download metadata for particular areas of interest or specific date ranges, use the EarthExplorer Export Metadata functionality.  Visit the EarthExplorer Help Documentation for more information.

*New March 2026: Parquet files now available.  Visit this USGS FAQ to learn more about Parquet files.
