info:
  title: UP42 Catalog Tasking API
  description: 'The UP42 API is the programmatic surface of the UP42 geospatial marketplace and developer platform, operated by Airbus Defence and Space. It covers the full Earth observation workflow: searching the archive (Catalog), commissioning new satellite acquisitions (Tasking), estimating/placing/tracking Orders, storing and downloading results as cloud-native Assets, browsing storage through a STAC-compliant data management API, running Processing/analytics, and receiving order and job status changes via Webhooks.


    All requests go to https://api.up42.com and are authenticated with an OAuth2 Bearer access token. Access tokens are short-lived (about 5 minutes) and are obtained either from a UP42 API key or from account credentials via the UP42 authentication server (https://auth.up42.com/realms/public/protocol/openid-connect/token, grant_type password or client_credentials, client_id up42-api). Most ordering, storage, and processing operations are scoped to a workspace by its workspaceId.


    Endpoint accuracy: paths marked `x-up42-endpoint-status: confirmed` were verified against the UP42 developer documentation (docs.up42.com / developer.up42.com). Paths marked `modeled` are named operations from the UP42 API reference whose exact REST path/method were reconstructed from documentation and the UP42 Python SDK, and should be re-verified against the live reference during reconciliation.'
