Planet

aid: planet
name: Planet
description: Planet Labs PBC operates the largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites, capturing a daily scan of the
  planet's landmass and delivering that imagery, along with derived Planetary Variables and analytics, through a suite of
  public developer APIs. The Planet Platform exposes a Data API for searching the imagery catalog, an Orders API for requesting
  and delivering scenes, a Subscriptions API for continuous cloud delivery, a Basemaps API for mosaics, a Tasking API for
  commanding high-resolution SkySat and Pelican captures, and a Features API for managing areas of interest. All APIs are
  served from api.planet.com and secured with API keys (HTTP Basic) or OAuth2/OIDC through login.planet.com. Planet ships
  an official Python SDK and CLI, an experimental Model Context Protocol server, QGIS and ArcGIS plugins, and a large open-source
  notebook collection. Planet is a portfolio company of DCVC.
