Planet Labs

Planet Labs operates the world's largest commercial Earth observation constellation, imaging the entire landmass of the planet daily with its PlanetScope satellites and capturing high-resolution targeted imagery with SkySat and Pelican. The Planet Insights Platform is API-first: developers search the archive through the Data and Catalog APIs, order processed bundles through the Orders API, set up standing area-of-interest deliveries through the Subscriptions API, request tip-and-cue collections through the Tasking API, and consume mosaics through the Basemaps and Tiles APIs. Analytics, Processing, Statistical, and Batch APIs run server-side workflows over the catalog and over Planetary Variables. All APIs sit under api.planet.com, authenticate with an API key over HTTP Basic, and are wrapped by the official Planet Python SDK.

APIs

Planet Data API

Programmatic search over Planet's imagery catalog by AOI, time window, cloud cover, item type, and asset type. Returns item and asset metadata for downstream activation and down...

Planet Catalog API

STAC-based search and access layer over Planet imagery metadata, providing a standards-aligned interface to the archive.

Planet Orders API

Request preparation and delivery of imagery bundles with optional processing operations (clip, composite, harmonize, reproject, band math, file format), and deliver to cloud des...

Planet Subscriptions API

Standing subscriptions that deliver new imagery and analytic feeds to a cloud destination automatically as new acquisitions clear the AOI and cloud-cover filter.

Planet Basemaps API

Discover, view, and download Planet's PlanetScope monitoring and visual basemap mosaics covering the global landmass at regular cadence.

Planet Tasking API

Tasking interface for SkySat and Pelican constellations. Submit collection requests against a target geometry and time window and track capture and delivery status.

Planet Analytics API

Access to Planet Analytics Feeds, including building, road, ship, and change detection outputs derived from the imagery archive.

Planet Processing API

Run custom processing scripts on raw bands and derive indices (NDVI, EVI, etc.) over Planet imagery without downloading source data.

Planet Statistical API

Compute per-AOI statistics (mean, median, percentiles, histograms) over imagery and analytic layers without requiring full raster downloads.

Planet Tiles API

XYZ and WMTS tile services for visualizing PlanetScope and SkySat scenes and basemaps in web mapping clients.

Planet Features API

Save and manage Areas of Interest (features and feature collections) for reuse across Subscriptions, Orders, and Tasking.

Planet Python SDK

Official Python SDK (planet on PyPI) and CLI for working with all Planet APIs, including async clients for search, orders, subscriptions, and data activation.
