aid: planet-labs name: Planet Labs description: >- 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. type: Index position: Provider access: 3rd-Party image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Earth Observation - Satellite Imagery - Geospatial - PlanetScope - SkySat - Pelican - Tasking - Basemaps - Analytics - Subscriptions - STAC - GIS url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/planet-labs/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-23' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.20' apis: - aid: planet-labs:data name: Planet Data API description: >- Programmatic search over Planet's imagery catalog by AOI, time window, cloud cover, item type, and asset type.
