Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// A dictionary (e.g. results of ee.Image.reduceRegion of an S2 image).
var dict = ee.Dictionary({
B1: 182,
B2: 219,
B3: 443,
Geometry: ee.Geometry.Point([-122.01, 36.97])
});
print('The "Geometry" value as an ee.Geometry object',
dict.getGeometry('Geometry'));
Python setup

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
