How to download images from the planet API?
This API Quickstart Guide will walk you through how to download your first image from the Planet Data API. See guide “Getting Started” guide for instructions on using this guide and acquiring a Planet API key. See Step 1: Searching for Imagery for a guide to searching for images in the Planet API.
How does the data API work on Planet?
Planet’s Data API is a RESTful API interface to Planet’s complete imagery catalog. It enables programmatic support for searching all Planet imagery by metadata. As with all Planet APIs, using the Data API requires that you have a Planet API key: if you don’t already have a Planet account, you can sign up for a free trial account website.
Can you download large amounts of imagery from API?
Downloading a large amount of imagery from our API can be tricky, when you’re done with this tutorial you may want to check out: Large AOI Best Practices. In the last section, we learned how to search for items that interest us. Items are identified by their ItemType and ItemId, here is one of the items from our Guide to Searching for Imagery.
Can a visual asset be downloaded from the API?
An important thing to know about the API is that it does not pre-generate Assets so they are not always immediately availiable to download. You can see that the visual asset for this item has the status “inactive”, so we need to activate it.
How can I use planet to view satellite imagery?
Move the slider bar to compare Planet’s surface reflectance product (left) and top-of-atmosphere reflectance product (right) in adjacent captures by the same satellite. Programmatically search, download, and transform data from with Planet’s API, built on REST, JSON, and HTTP standards.
How does planet data work on a satellite?
Planet’s automated pipeline delivers analysis-ready data, without costly post-processing or manual intervention needed on your side. Move the slider bar to compare Planet’s surface reflectance product (left) and top-of-atmosphere reflectance product (right) in adjacent captures by the same satellite.
Do you need an API to access NASA data?
Welcome to the NASA API portal. The objective of this site is to make NASA data, including imagery, eminently accessible to application developers. The api.nasa.gov catalog is growing. You do not need to authenticate in order to explore the NASA data.
What can you do with Planet Satellite imagery?
With best-in-class imagery, you can monitor areas of interest, validate information on the ground, and discover trends relevant to your organization. Planet operates more than 200 satellites that together provide an unprecedented dataset of Earth observation imagery.
How big is the Planet archive data set?
Basic, orthorectified, radiance, and surface reflectance imagery are available. Planet Archive empowers customers with a living dataset of global change, with new imagery added on a daily basis. With 10+ billion sq km of imagery, Planet Archive has proprietary datasets back to 2009 and public datasets back to 1972.
