Pixxel

Pixxel is a hyperspectral Earth-observation company operating the Firefly constellation of hyperspectral imaging satellites and the Aurora platform, an Earth-observation studio for tasking, ordering, searching, and analyzing satellite imagery. Its public "stargate" API (api.pixxel.space) gives developers programmatic access to projects and areas of interest (AOIs), satellite tasking and ordering, a STAC-based imagery archive, cloud delivery, spectral indices and visualizations, and analytics workflows, jobs, and model insights across agriculture, mining, energy, forestry, environment, and government use cases. Authentication uses bearer Personal Access Tokens scoped by organization, project, and role.

Pixxel publishes 19 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AOI API, Archives API, Assets API, and 16 more. Tagged areas include Company, Satellite Imagery, Earth Observation, Hyperspectral, and Geospatial.

Pixxel’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 16 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/pixxel: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
