Leaf Agriculture

Purpose

Read and manage farm data through Leaf Agriculture, a unified farm-data API that aggregates the partner-gated OEM platforms under self-serve access: John Deere, CNH Industrial (Case IH/New Holland), Climate FieldView, Trimble, Raven and AgLeader. The primitives it exposes (fields, boundaries, machine operation files for planting/harvest/application/tillage, plus as-applied irrigation) are exactly what a farmer-first fintech and supply-chain digitization product consumes. This is the practical route to partner-gated OEM data without a partnership agreement: individual provider connections need that grower's OAuth consent, which is the normal data-access model rather than a partnership gate.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/leaf-agriculture.py. Every command takes --user-id (the Leaf user id from the Leaf dashboard):

bin/leaf-agriculture.py auth --user-id USER_ID          # verify the API key
bin/leaf-agriculture.py fields --user-id USER_ID        # list fields
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-get --user-id USER_ID \
    --field-id FIELD_ID                                 # one field
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-create --user-id USER_ID \
    --file field.json                                   # create a field record
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-update --user-id USER_ID \
    --field-id FIELD_ID --file field.json               # update a field record
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-delete --user-id USER_ID \
    --field-id FIELD_ID \
    --confirm "delete field FIELD_ID"                    # delete a field record (confirmation required)
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-sync --user-id USER_ID    # trigger a manual field sync from providers
bin/leaf-agriculture.py field-push --user-id USER_ID \
    --field-id FIELD_ID --provider john-deere \
    --confirm "push field FIELD_ID to john-deere"        # push field data into a provider (confirmation required)
bin/leaf-agriculture.py operation-files --user-id USER_ID \
    --field-id FIELD_ID                                 # machine operation files for a field
bin/leaf-agriculture.py irrigation --user-id USER_ID    # as-applied irrigation events

--provider names the target provider for a push, e.g. john-deere, cnhi, climate-fieldview, trimble, raven, agleader.

Auth

• Provider id: leaf-agriculture (credential is collected as custom.leaf-agriculture)
• Collection: Bearer API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); issued in the Leaf dashboard
• Auth scheme: Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request; placement is resolved by the helper from the credential config
• Allowed hosts: api.withleaf.io
• Base path pattern: https://api.withleaf.io/services/{service}/api (e.g. /services/fields/api, /services/irrigation/api)
• The Leaf user id is not a secret; pass it as --user-id on every command
• Status check: bin/leaf-agriculture.py auth --user-id USER_ID
• Honesty note: pricing and exact sandbox semantics were open items in the research dossier and could not be confirmed without live access; test against preview fields before enabling provider sync, and check docs.withleaf.io for current pricing.

Operating Rules

1. No direct physical actuation. This connector moves farm data only: records, boundaries, operation files, irrigation logs. Nothing here starts a tractor or opens a valve.
2. Field create/update/delete sync to connected providers, so bad writes corrupt the farm's data picture downstream. Confirm the field id and payload with the user before create/update, and field-delete requires the exact --confirm string the CLI echoes.
3. field-push is MEDIUM: it pushes boundaries or prescriptions into a provider such as John Deere Operations Center, where equipment or operators may act on them. It requires the exact --confirm string every time.
4. Rate limits apply per API key. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/leaf-agriculture.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
