Climate Engine

Climate Engine is a geospatial climate and remote-sensing data platform that runs on Google Earth Engine. Its commercial REST API (api.climateengine.org) provides on-demand processing of satellite and gridded climate datasets - Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, GRIDMET, ERA5, CHIRPS and more - returning timeseries, map tiles, zonal statistics, and pre-built reports over points, polygons, and feature collections.

Climate Engine publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Home API, Metadata API, Raster API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Climate, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, Satellite, and Earth Observation.

Climate Engine’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.
