Maxar

Maxar (operating in 2026 as Vantor / Maxar Intelligence) is a high-resolution Earth observation and 3D geospatial provider operating the WorldView Legion, WorldView-3, WorldView-2, and GeoEye-1 constellations. The Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP), branded as Vantor Hub, is API-first: developers authenticate through the Authentication / Token Service, search the 125+PB Vivid, archive, and change-monitoring catalog through the Discovery API (STAC / GeoJSON), place orders through the Ordering API, stream imagery and basemaps through OGC-compliant WFS / WMS / WMTS services, retrieve 3D surface models, register Areas of Interest with the Monitoring API, and task new collections through the Tasking API (Fastview / Flexview). Raster and Vector Analytics expose NDVI, NDWI, change-monitoring vectors, and custom analysis graphs. An official Python SDK (maxar-platform) wraps the full surface.

APIs

Maxar Authentication / Token Service

OAuth2-style token service that mints bearer access tokens (and 180-day default API keys) for use against all Vantor Hub / MGP APIs.

Maxar Discovery API

Unified catalog search across Archive Imagery, Vivid Basemaps, and Change Monitoring. Supports filtering and sorting and returns STAC and GeoJSON metadata representations of mat...

Maxar Ordering API

Order placement and management for archive and online imagery with multiple delivery options and processing pipelines. Supports tracking order status to completion and delivery.

Maxar Streaming Imagery API

OGC-compliant WFS / WMS / WMTS streaming services for delivering online imagery strips into web mapping clients and GIS workflows.

Maxar Streaming Basemap API

OGC service delivering Maxar Vivid basemap products and their metadata for cartographic and analytic use.

Maxar Streaming 3D API

Streams 3D surface models derived from Maxar's stereo and tri-stereo collections for visualization and 3D analysis.

Maxar Monitoring API

Register Areas of Interest and receive alerts when new imagery or analytic outputs match. Drives standing tip-and-cue workflows over the Maxar catalog.

Maxar Tasking API

Request new imagery collection from the WorldView Legion and legacy WorldView constellations within a target geometry and time window. Supports Fastview and Flexview tasking tiers.

Maxar Raster Analytics API

Server-side raster processing - band manipulation, classification, and index models (NDVI, NDWI, etc.) - composed as analysis graphs over the Maxar catalog.

Maxar Vector Analytics API

Vector deliveries of change monitoring outputs through OGC WMS / WMTS for downstream analytic and GIS consumption.

Maxar Geospatial Platform Python SDK

Official Python SDK (maxar-platform on PyPI) wrapping the MGP / Vantor Hub APIs for discovery, ordering, monitoring, streaming, and tasking workflows.

Maxar MGP Postman Collection

Public Postman workspace documenting the Maxar Geospatial Platform API surface for quick exploration and testing.
