  title: Vantor Hub Discovery Search API
  description: Search and discovery API across Vantor Hub's "125+ petabytes of imagery and derivatives" — WorldView, GeoEye, WorldView Legion archive imagery plus Vivid basemaps and derivative analytic products. STAC-aligned search by area of interest, time window, sensor, cloud cover and resolution. Profile derived from Vantor Hub public docs (hub.vantor.com/docs/discovery) and the open-source `maxarcat` Python client which wraps the published OpenAPI for the Maxar Content Catalog. Endpoint paths should be confirmed against live Vantor responses before production use.
