503 error for Sentinel Hub and Copernicus

We are experiencing persistent 503 Service Unavailable errors when calling the Sentinel Hub Catalog and Process APIs. The issue has lasted for more than 24 hours, which makes me concerned that this is not a transient load spike. Our setup: Endpoint: https://services.sentinel-hub.com APIs: Catalog (/api/v1/catalog/search) and Process (/api/v1/process) Authentication: OAuth client credentials (working correctly, token is obtained) Script retries requests with exponential back-off, but 503s continue consistently. Could you please confirm if there is an ongoing outage or maintenance affecting these APIs? If not, we would appreciate guidance on any configuration or endpoint changes we should make

Optimising Number of Samples in Processing API

Dear Planet/Sentinel-Hub Community,we are trying to optimise our requests to the Sentinelhub processing API. ContextWe are working in the climate-action domain and see this as a way to reduce our emissions (and PU cost). We have already implemented some optimisations like the output format, the output resolution and improving caching. In this context we also opened two issues in the sentinlhub-py repository #560 and #561.GoalFor any arbitrary area, we want to have at least one valid sample per pixel per month but as little samples as possible overall.ProblemOur analyses are temporally and geographically unbound. We therefore use multiple timestamps to assert data availability and robustness. One of the last optimisation potentials we have identified would be the reduction in the number of samples that are fed into our eval-script (i.e. sharpening the filter criteria, similar to the examples on "select one image per month"). Here we were unsuccessful due to the limitations of the API (o

Sentiel Hub API Deprecated?

Hi, I am trying to understand if Sentiel Hub API is deprecated or not, but get mixed responses online. Also, if it is, what is the alternative? My goal is to get NDVI and do some other calculations of agriculture related parameters.

Planet Fusion and SentinelHub Catalog API

Hello, I am downloading Planet Fusion data for a project through a BYOC Collection on SentinelHub. The plan is to have a STAC catalog on my side to archive the data for future use. When I query the Catalog API I get STAC items that have an empty object in the assets field. Is this normal? Is there a way to get this information or at least a template of the whole STAC item?

Drop in revisit rate in 2022 and beyond?

I am working on a project based in Alaska, and put together a script using the API to see how many image-days per month are available in my study region. However, I noticed a really weird trend in 2022 and beyond, where the average daily images drops by almost 50%. What is going on here? I have attached a graph showing data availability with a Planet cloud threshold of 25% image cloud cover (ignore the grey trend line behind, that is unrelated to planet data.)What is going on here with the drop in data coverage?

Receiving High Cloud Cover (30–70%) in Planet Imagery via Sentinel Hub – How to Filter Cloud-Free Scenes?

Hi Planet Support,We are using Planet imagery integrated via Sentinel Hub under the Area Under Management (AUM) subscription model. While we expected imagery to be filtered for quality, we are regularly receiving scenes with 30% to 70% cloud cover, which affects our ability to extract usable insights for crop monitoring.Could you help clarify: Does Planet imagery delivered through Sentinel Hub include unfiltered/cloudy scenes by default, or is there internal cloud filtering applied in AUM subscriptions? What are the best practices or parameters we can use (in Sentinel Hub or Planet APIs) to ensure we only receive cloud-free or low-cloud scenes (e.g., <10%)? Is there any difference in cloud-filter behavior between PlanetScope and SkySat products in this context? We are building precision agriculture products and need clean, high-quality imagery for daily to weekly analysis.Any guidance or examples would be appreciated.

NDWI for Beaver Ponds Much Lower in PlanetScope SR Compared to NAIP

Hi everyone,I’m working on tracking beaver pond and wetland dynamics using PlanetScope Surface Reflectance (SR) imagery (PS2 and PSB.SD). For validation, I compared NDWI values in beaver pond areas with NAIP imagery for the same sites and dates.Here’s what I found: NAIP (2021): NDWI for beaver ponds ~ +0.3 (as expected for water bodies) Planet PS2 (2021-08-28): NDWI for same ponds ~ -0.37 Planet PSB.SD (2021-08-29): NDWI for same ponds ~ -0.67 Both Planet images are SR products (AnalyticMS_SR), and I applied the recommended scaling factor (0.0001 for uint16). However, the NDWI values for ponds are unexpectedly negative—even though visual inspection shows water clearly present in the RGB and false-color composites.Has anyone seen similar NDWI behavior in PlanetScope SR imagery for water bodies? Could this be related to specific characteristics of Planet sensors, or is there another preprocessing step I might have missed?Any insights or suggestions for adjusting thresholds (or altern

Mismatch in number of samples and scenes and how we can match them.

Hi, I am using the following evalscript to get S2L2A multi-temporal data for some AOIs.I see we have more samples than scenes (we use TILE mosaicking) and I understand we can have multiple acquisitions per scene.

Update: Brightness Temperature Fix for Landsat 9 OLI-TIRS Level 1

We've recently fixed an issue affecting brightness temperature values for Landsat 9 OLI-TIRS Level 1 data, specifically applied to bands 10 and 11.Previously, the brightness temperatures were derived using the radiance multiplicative scaling factor, radiance additive scaling factor and thermal constants (K1 and K2) from Landsat 8 instead of Landsat 9. This led to small, but noticeable differences in the temperature values, typically by a few degrees.The correction has now been applied, so you should see more accurate brightness temperature values moving forward.Thank you for your understanding!

After migration Sentinelhub

Hi everyone, I’m a long-time user of Sentinel Hub services, and I’m currently facing issues after the migration to the new CDSE (Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem) platform. Previously, I was using the following endpoints for authentication: HUB_TOKEN_URL = "https://services.sentinel-hub.com/oauth/token"HUB_TOKEN_INFO = "https://services.sentinel-hub.com/oauth/tokeninfo" And I used to access data via: https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus After the recent transition, these URLs seem to be deprecated or redirected, and I’m not sure how to update my authentication workflow. I have already created an account at https://dataspace.copernicus.eu, but I couldn’t find a clear explanation of the updated authentication procedure. ❓ My main questions: What is the new token URL I should use to obtain access tokens via API? Is there a new structure for authentication (e.g., using client_id, client_secret, etc.)? What is the new base URL for data access, replacing the old scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus?

How do subscriptions behave when plan ends

HI!,I have the following plan Planet Monitoring & Processing - Region A - 2 500 ha (that was bought via sentinel hub), it ends on the 11 of June, I would like to know how do running subscriptions behave when the plan ends, will they be cancelled?, will they continue?. I reviewed the offered plans and i saw that the one that i had is not offered anymore. Can I purchase the PlanetScope AUM - Tier 2 (740 usd per 50 ha pack) in the last day so I still have the subscriptions running or they will just last a day and charge me 740/365?. I saw that you are offering (via planet not sentinel) Global plan, If i want to extend the subscription, am I forced to buy that plan to extend the subscriptions? (Ideally I would need the tier 2 not the global due to cost issues)How do I manage this issue?Thanks!, I’ll be waiting your response.

Issues with opensearch.sentinel-hub.com for images later than February

We’ve had a pipeline running for years now, whenever we need to process imagery for a new geometry, we use the sentinelhub python library to identify relevant historical images for said geometry.This library actually makes a simple request to the url http://opensearch.sentinel-hub.com/resto/api/collections/Sentinel2/search.json with the bounding box and date ranges.Recently, we’ve noticed that we haven’t been getting newer images. After some investigation, it seems that the endpoint is not properly returning newer images (since March, from our tests).As you can see, using a test bounding box we manually created a request to that endpoint, getting a total of 0 images since march:But increasing the range to February, we get images as expected:Searching directly for more recent data on the same tile, we can see that newer images do exist:aws s3 ls --request-payer requester s3://sentinel-s2-l2a/tiles/14/T/LL/2025/4/ PRE 12/ PRE 14/
