Order Limit for E&R (Departmental or Campus Package)

Is there a limit to number of orders, given that I use a E&R (Departmental or Campus Package)? I am in the process of requesting a large batch of orders through the API and expect the number of individual orders might exceed 10,000. Thank you!

Bad bundle type - unable to accept order

I’m currently trying to download images using the planet api for item_type “PSScene” and product_bundle “basic_analytic_4b”, but I’m getting the error of “Bad bundle type: 'basic_analytic_4b'”. I already migrated over from PSScene3b but it doesn’t seem to have worked.Is there a new bundle type for the PSScene?Thanks!

Expanding Batch Order Options Beyond Major Cloud Providers: Can Customer-Owned S3 Storage Replace Hosted Solutions?

Are batch orders exclusively supported on hosted cloud servers, or can customers use their own S3-compatible storage? In other words, why are we locked into providers like AWS and Google Cloud? Customers without access to those cloud services can take advantage of the subscription and tasking services offered by Planet. Is it possible to develop a batch order solution that’s more universally accessible without requiring specific cloud platforms?

download image 8b surface reflectance with python

252 / 5.000 Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to download an image with 8b surface reflectance using Python code. I managed to download it with 4b, specifying the "product_bundle": "analytic_sr_udm2" in the command. However, I tried adding 8b, but it didn't work.

Data Access via API to my GEE Cloud project

I have access to the PlanetScope daily data under the Education and Research. I would want to access it via an API on my Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud project where I would calculate variables using it such as NDVI then extract pixels for my modeling workflow. without necessarily downloading the full images but extracting portions (pixels) that will form my TFRecords. How may I do this?

Education and research XYZ tile server low resolution and downloads credit

Only zoom tiles load atHi,I’m trying to implement the tile server using the education and research license, but it only seems to show a low resolution version of the data. What’s the process to load the full resolution tiles? Also, I tried using the API to get 13 acres of data using a clip in the API for the AOI, but it used about half my Downloads Scene credit. Is it possible to collect data without having the entire tile count against credit used? Thank you!

KeyError: 'id' when placing API order

Hello! I’m replicating the code found at this link https://github.com/planetlabs/notebooks/blob/master/jupyter-notebooks/Orders-API/ordering_and_delivery.ipynb with my own set of images and am receiving the error in the screenshot below when trying to place the order. For reference, I’m trying to pull all available analytic_8b_sr_udm2 products that overlap with my specified area of interest.I’m unsure if this is a problem with the API, the images I’m trying to order or the way I’ve written the code. My code is exactly the same as the one linked, except I performed a paginated quick search first and then copy and pasted the resulting item id list into the request code. That item id list has 786 image ids in it. Any insight someone can provide about what is causing this error and how to fix it would be so appreciated!

What's the easiest way to download data over a long temporal range?

I'm new to PlanetScope and to mapping. My question is which is the easiest and most time efficient way to download my site data from Planet? I find using the Planet Explorer clear and easy to use, and it lets me clip the image data to just my sites, which is very good as it prevents me from going over my quota. However, I want to download the data for my sites across their whole temporal range (2016 to present day). As far as I can tell, the explorer won't let me do this easily as I have to manually click each scene and press the "load more" button.I've also tried using the official Planet plugin for QGIS. It is cool that it loads Planet data directly into QGIS, but I don't see any option to crop scenes down to just the pixels I want. I also don't see the option to bulk select scenes within a date range. Lastly, I've attempted to use the APIs that Planet provides, but this is challenging because I'm only familiar with the R programming language, so I keep encountering errors. Furthermo

Expected Time for Downloading Batch

Hello Planet community! I am looking to perform my first batch download and am wondering if it’s possible to get a ballpark estimate of how long this will take. I have a script prepared in Python using Planet’s API that will facilitate the retrieval and download of about 240 images from PSScene (3m resolution). To anyone with experience doing this, how long will this download process take? Should I run it before going to bed to give it enough time, or is it more recommended to try a parallel processing approach? Any tips are appreciated.

How to a I create a Geometry Filter from geojson file in Python?

Hi,Is there a way to create a Geometry Filter using defining the AOI directly from a geojson file in Python (ideally using geopandas)? The only examples I am seeing in tutorials is about copy-pasting coordinates, but I hope there is a more automated way to do this.Thank you!

Interpreting /stats responses

Newby-question here: /stats returns often show millions of “counts” for my searches. for example:{ "count": 10181598, "start_time": "2016-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z" },Compared to the planet explorer GUI online results with what is (I assume) the same filters, this is an extraordinary difference. I imagine that some of the metadata type files are also included in the “count” in this example, but it still seems like a very high number for my search criteria (which included, for this example, included item_type, permission, publishing, cloud, daterange, and geometry filters all fairly strict). How should I interpret the “count” value from the endpoint response? Are there indeed over 10 million images that meet this criteria? Here is the filter structure for this search: # Search filter setupitem_type = ["PSScene"]AssetFilter = { "type": "AssetFilter", "config": ["ortho_analytic_4b", "ortho_analytic_4b_sr"]}PublishingFilter = { "type": "StringInFilter", "field_name":

Clip tool to download images from API

Hello, everyone! I am downloading raster images clipped to 11 small aoi. It appears that my quota allocation is still counting the entire scene’s coverage area towards my monthly download quota, however. Does someone have script to make an order to download clipped images on aoi, for a time series. I will be very grateful as I tried and always get either errors or downloading the whole scenes which impact my monthly quota.Any info will be much appreciated.Thanks!

Best way to go about getting Satellite Imagery on more zoomed in areas of interest?

I have an Enterprise L Account with Planet. What API should I be using to get the images? What is the best way to make sure I get the most clear images. Anytime it is a bit too zoomed in the images are basically pixels.

Orderding multiple scenes clipped with multiple AOIs

Hi all,I'm building a dataset for training a CNN. For this I need to acquire about 1000 PS scenes clipped to a rather small area of interest (around 600x600m). I've got the item id's and corresponding AOIs as polygons for all the images I need. Since the AOI for each PS scene is so small I want to use the clipping tool from orders API to spare our quota.My question is this: What is the best way to order multiple scenes clipped by multiple areas of interest?I've already written code (in Python) to acquire the images by sending an order for each image separately, but this solution seems a bit "brute-forcy" to me. Is there some more elegant solution to this? I know it is possible to order multiple scenes clipped by a single AOI in a single order but is it possible to order multiple scenes clipped by multiple AOIs? Thanks for your help!

Configs definition of keys (gte, gt, lt, lte, gsd ...)

Hi folks,I am working with the Data API and I have a question that is really not covered by documentation (https://developers.planet.com/docs/apis/data/searches-filtering/).What do these configs really mean (gte, gt, lt, lte, gsd...) ? Because some of them store not only one data type, for example lte:In the DateRangeFilter "lte":"2020-01-31T00:00:00Z", but in the RangeFilter it is a float - "lte":0.1, or even an integer (https://developers.planet.com/docs/apis/data/quick-saved-search/ or here https://developers.planet.com/docs/subscriptions/tools/).

Trying to access imagery outside of my Tier using the Subscription API

Hello Everyone! I am writing this post to ask if anyone knows what happens when you try to download imagery from outside of your signed Tier using the Subscription API. E.g. in my case, I have a contract that lets me download imagery for a given polygon from Japan (Tier 1), so if an user mistakenly tries to download data from, let’s say, the US, my subscription creation will fail and throw an error or will I be charged for this?I already read this documentation, however I could not find an explicit reference to this problem. Although, I am guessing I would get a 403 error (Unauthorized). I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question. Thanks in advance!

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
