Checking the quota my subscription will consume before creating it

I am writing this post because I want to know if there is any response parameter, API call or tool that you can use to know exactly how much quota will be consumed by my subscription.Of course, I could calculate the area in sq kms using python or any other programming language but I am concerned about the rounding up errors, so I would like to get the exact value from Planet’s side before actually creating the subscription. I have noticed that in planet explorer there are tools that measure the area of your AOI but I will use the Subscription API to get data of my AOI for over long periods of time programmatically, so I will not use planet explorer.Also, I have read that there is an API for generating reports, called the reports API, but the documentation about it was rather scarce (I do not know whether in the report the quota usage per subscription will be included as I cannot use it) and also these reports are generated after creating the subscriptions, so this does not answer my qu

Optimizing CLI Workflow: how to ensure Full AOI Coverage for Downloaded Planet Images

Hello there!I'm currently in the process of learning how to utilize the Command Line Interface (CLI) for downloading Planet products.I've successfully managed to download images that pique my interest. However, I've encountered an issue where none of these images fully cover the area of interest (AOI) that I'm working with. Below are the commands I've been using:planet data filter --geom "map (1).geojson" --permission --std-quality | planet data search-create PSScene --name "my_search" --filter -planet data search-run 74abd968151f440b9541e077e1178e00 --limit 2planet data asset-activate PSScene 20230803_094757_15_248f ortho_analytic_8b_srplanet data asset-wait PSScene 20230803_094757_15_248f ortho_analytic_8b_sr && planet data asset-download PSScene 20230803_094757_15_248f ortho_analytic_8b_sr Do you know how can I ensure that my images are completely within my AOI?

Download and crop an image using the API and gdalwrap in python

Apologize for the question but i am a beginner in programming.I am trying to write a script in Python and automatically download and crop a specific area using gdalwarp (I tried with the clip tool without success: https://developers.planet.com/apis/orders/tools/#using-tools).Although being able to get a clipped image, this is simply a black thumbnail (840KB).The final goal would be just to download the cropped part.At the moment I am downloading the full image and it creates the thumbnail mentioned above.The coordinates were extracted with the geojson.io toolCould be the problem related with the coordinate system (although the clipped image is quite small and let me think the issue is something else). Could you please advice what am I doing wrong? Below the code section:# Clip the image using gldalwarpclip_output_image = os.path.join(save_folder, "clipped_" + filename)input_coordinates = "33.282952632083095, 34.94060635659089, 33.282952632083095, 34.94060635659089"# Define the target c

Clip tool implementation to download from Subscription API

Regarding the issue with our trial access, I have a question. While testing the capabilities of the Data API, it seems that there was some confusion between the 'GeometryFilter' and the 'Clip' tool in the Subscription API. We mistakenly believed that the 'GeometryFilter' would act as a clip and only provide us with the area of interest within the filter coordinates. However, it appears that it directed us to download an entire Planet Scope scene instead.Could anyone please provide clarification or guidance on how we can address this issue?"

SR Quarterly Basemaps with NIR

Hello, I would like to download the quarterly SR base maps, ideally the normalized images with NIR. I am using the mosaics API to search for available imagery with:basemap_url = ( "https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/mosaics/?_page_size=2000&name__contains=SR" )basemapServiceResponse = requests.get(url=basemap_url, auth=auth)basemaps = basemapServiceResponse.raise_for_status()if basemapServiceResponse.status_code != 204: basemaps = json.loads(basemapServiceResponse.text)basemaps.get("mosaics")In the results I only see monthly products with names matching the pattern:ps_monthly_analytic_sr_subscription_2016_09_mosaicEven then, I am unable to download those images. I have had success with downloading files matching this pattern:global_quarterly_2016q1_mosaicBut these do not include NIR.

How to get aggregated statistics of a long time series of PlanetScope data of a very small AOI

I was wondering, if planet’s APIs provide an option to get aggregated statistical data of a long time series (~1 year) of PlanetScope daily imagery of a very small area (<1ha) or even just a point/pixel without having to “manually” download all applicable tiles and calculate the aggregated statistics locally.Context: I want to extract average NDVI values of a small region for each day of a year and plot a time series of the NDVI development.Any help is much appreciated!

What is the preferred way to work with Planet data in Python?

Hi.I am new to Planet data and I am doing some exploratory work and research using Python. Usually I use libraries such as rasterio to manipulate raster data. However, it seems that with the way Planet data is delivered (I am using PSScene 1B data), it is hard to read in the raster with the metadata directly. I find myself trying to parse the relevant information from the XML metadata file manually.Is there a recommended way to solve this issue, such that I don’t have to write my own parsing functions?Any tips on working with Planet data in python in general would be much appreciated.

Announcing: Planet SDK for Python 2.0.0 is live!

A few months ago, we let you know about the first beta release of our new Python SDK and CLI. On behalf of the Developer Relations team here at Planet, I’m so excited to announce that this new toolkit is now live and available to all. This new and improved toolkit took the best parts of the original Planet Python library and added a number of great improvements. If you’ve had the opportunity to use the beta tool, you’ll already be familiar with how much easier it makes working with Planet’s APIs in Python: the 2.0 release of our Python SDK abstracts out all the details of interacting with Planet’s APIs, so you can focus on actually using the data and building workflows. We’ve also built a new Command-Line Interface to enable that same easy interaction with Planet APIs – without using code. If you’re already familiar with Planet’s V1 CLI, the new and improved CLI is similar while also allowing you to work in a more modular fashion, enabling a wider array of workflows.

How to request the list of available mosaics from the Python API V2

Hi,I was previously using the version 1, waiting for the release of the v2 but the numerous bugs that are rising from 1.4.9 forced me to wire on the more recent release candidates. Prior, using an authenticated client, I was able to request the list of mosaics using the following:import osimport planetclient = planet.api.ClientV1(api_key=os.environ["PL_API_KEY"])mosaics = client.list_mosaics().get()print(mosaics) Is it still possible in V2 ? I searched for a list_mosaics or get_mosaics method but I found nothing.

Some Questions about Parameters of Data API

I understand that in Data API, I can use date range, cloud coverage to filter the image.I am wondering is it possible to filter images using "Radiometry" as shown below, e.g., I can set the parameter to "surface reflectance". If I cannot set the parameter, what kind of images do I download? Are they the type of "surface reflectance"? Thanks

New Python SDK and Command Line Interface!

We are pleased to announce the first beta release of the Planet SDK for Python V2. It’s got a number of great improvements. With this version, we’re abstracting out all the details of interacting with Planet’s APIs, so you can focus on using the data instead of coding another REST API. It handles errors, retries, exponential back-off, and traffic-shaping, all in async interfaces. Request as much data as you want, with the confidence that it’s coming to you as fast as it can.And for those who aren’t Python programmers, we’ve also built a new Command-Line Interface to enable easy interaction with Planet APIs. It is similar to V1, but built in a more modular fashion to enable a wider array of workflows. The documentation walks you through how it works, even if you have little or no CLI experience.Both the SDK and the CLI support the Orders, Data, and Subscriptions APIs. We’re already building out support for the next APIs based on your feedback. To get started, install it from pip with ‘p
