The QGIS plugin for COALA API was implemented in a final version by ARIESPACE srl. The plugin provides a quick download of a selection of COALA products using the COALA APIs and it allows the visualisation directly in QGIS. Available indicators are: NDVI, fcover, LAI, NDMI, STR, ET (Crop evapotranspiration [mm]) and CWR (Crop water requirements [mm]).
The QGIS plugin can be downloaded from this repository.
The instruction for installation and a dedicated QGIS guide was developed and it is available here:

The figure below shows the from COALA QGIS plugin that can be used to access a selection for COALA indicators for a specific geometry.
