aid: skywatch url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/skywatch/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: SkyWatch kind: company description: SkyWatch Space Applications is an Earth observation company whose EarthCache platform gives developers a single API to discover, price, order, and deliver commercial satellite imagery and geospatial data from many providers - Pleiades, SPOT, PlanetScope, SkySat, Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, TripleSat, Kompsat, and more. The EarthCache API (base https://api.skywatch.co/earthcache, x-api-key auth) exposes Archive Search over historical imagery, Pipelines that monitor an area of interest and deliver imagery on a schedule, interval results with analytics and metadata download URLs, cost estimation, reusable output configurations (format, bands, mosaicking), saved locations, and callback-based subscriptions for platform events. Imagery is billed per square kilometre with resolution-based minimums. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Satellite Imagery - Earth Observation -
