Research direction

Start by locating the Data client code that currently reads planet/data/orders_product_bundle_2022_02_02.json, then download the Data API spec with the curl command in the issue. Update planet/data/README.md to identify the source, find all item types from the downloaded spec, and verify the client uses those types instead of the Orders API spec.

Description

enhancement

Instead of getting information from the Orders API spec for the Data client, as is done currently (i.e., planet/data/orders_product_bundle_2022_02_02.json), let's grab that info from the Data API spec.

Steps:

  1. Download the spec from the Data API: curl -O https://api.planet.com/data/v1/spec
  2. Write where data spec came from in README (planet/data/README.md)
  3. Find all item types from the data spec
