Geospatial APIs

Planet Data API

Planet operates the largest constellation of Earth observation satellites, capturing daily imagery of the entire landmass at 3-5 meter resolution. The Data API provides programmatic access to search, filter, and download satellite imagery from Planet's archive and daily feeds. Developers use it to build applications that monitor environmental change, track infrastructure development, assess agricultural health, and respond to natural disasters. The API supports spatial queries, temporal filtering, and metadata-driven search across multiple sensor types including PlanetScope, SkySat, and RapidEye. Each image asset includes spectral bands, cloud cover metrics, and geometric correction metadata, enabling integration into GIS workflows and machine learning pipelines.
