Visualization of CDSE WMS tiles using Folium

Question

Using the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem dashboard I created a New Configuration that I am able to visualize on Folium using Python.

How can I specify an absolute timestamp? I want to visualize a specific date that can be selected programatically and not the most recent one. Here is my code:

m = folium.Map()
url = "https://sh.dataspace.copernicus.eu/ogc/wms/d9b6faf8-52af-...9"
w = folium.raster_layers.WmsTileLayer(url=url,
                                      name="Natural color",
                                      styles="RGB",
                                      fmt="image/png",
                                      transparent=True,
                                      layers="NATURAL-COLOR",
                                      overlay=True)
w.add_to(m)
m 

Answer 1

Add the name of the dimension (as described in the GetCapabilities response) to the list of parameters.

So if the GetCapabilities response gives:

<Dimension name="time" units="ISO8601"/>
<Extent name="time" default="2023-09-05">1984-03-01/2023-09-05/P1D</Extent>

then use a time string in the format YYYY-MM-DD, like time="1984-03-01"

P1D tells you that the time period resolution is one day.
