About
A QGIS front-end for the bhoonidhi-downloader library (https://github.com/geovicco-dev/bhoonidhi-downloader, MIT license). Log in with your Bhoonidhi credentials (never stored to disk -- the session lives only in memory for the current QGIS session and is discarded on close), pick a direct-download satellite/sensor, set a date range and a spatial filter (manual bounding box or a drawn rectangle), search the archive, preview georeferenced scene quicklooks on the map, and download selected scenes. Each search is saved as a revisitable "query" for the session and cleaned up automatically when QGIS closes. External dependency: the bhoonidhi-downloader PyPI package (needs Python 3.10+, i.e. QGIS 3.34 or newer). The plugin installs it automatically with pip into your user Python folder the first time it runs (internet needed, no admin rights) and confirms with an "All dependencies resolved" message. If that fails it tells you why and how to install it manually; the plugin re-checks each time QGIS starts (or you click its toolbar icon) and tries again automatically. Works with QGIS 3.34 through 4.x.
