Searching Images over a large multi-polygon over multiple years

This question was originally asked June 15, 2022 13:55 by user Amninder Singh. Hi, I am new to using Planet API. I am trying to search for imagery over a multipolygon GeoJSON (which consists of ~10,000 small polygons across the United States) from 2019 to 2021. My goal is to deliver this imagery to the Google Earth Engine for analysis. Here is a snippet of code that I am using with DataAPI for quick search:item_type = "PSScene4Band"# API request objectsearch_request = { "item_types": [item_type], "filter": combined_filter}# POST requestsearch_result = requests.post(   'https://api.planet.com/data/v1/quick-search',   auth=HTTPBasicAuth(PLANET_API_KEY, ''),   json=search_request)ids = [f["id"] for f in search_result.json()["features"]]The above section of code will not display more than 250 ids (I think this is the default). Any way I can obtain all the resulting 'ids'?Next, I am creating a request using the Orders API using the `ids`. request = {  "name":"cliptryGEE",  "product

Some Questions about Parameters of Data API

This question was originally asked April 07, 2021 23:03 by user Leikun Yin. Hello,I have a question related to 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

API to download what I see in the Planet Explorer

I have an AOI on the Planet explorer, with the actual satellite image showing on my Planet Explorer already. Is there a way download it through an API as it seems like that image is already paid by my quota on Scene tiles. To clarify, how do I only download this image below.Thanks

Daily product in production

We are building an automated daily product based on the analytic_8b_udm2 bundle and having trouble coming up with a process for quick search + ordering assets. We recognize there is a processing time and that time varies. Is there anything in the API to know if an AOI doesn’t have that asset available for that day at all?  Or is currently processing?

Assets link returning empty content? Data API

I’m trying to list an item’s assets (see https://developers.planet.com/docs/apis/data/reference/#tag/Items-and-Assets/operation/ListItemAssets), but the response is empty for some reason. For example, if I send a get request to https://api.planet.com/data/v1/item-types/PSScene/items/20220101_224552_0f21/assets/ (with my API key), I get a 200 response code but the data is just empty brackets. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Surface Reflectance Basemap Quad download via API

Hello Planet-Community,I want to try Planet surface reflectance basemaps (https://developers.planet.com/docs/data/sr-basemaps/) to evaluate if it is suitable for my research project before purchasing wider access. In particular, I want to download a GeoTiff quad tile of a quarterly basemap mosaic via Python, as I have already implemented a processing tool chain which works for another satellite image provider. However, despite quite some effort, I could not yet fetch a single Planet basemap quad and are struggling with a bunch of problems:1) How to access surface reflectance basemaps (BGRN) via the browser on https://www.planet.com/basemaps or through the QGIS plugin? I followed the instructions given at https://developers.planet.com/docs/integrations/qgis/discover-basemaps/, but can view only visual (RGB) basemaps.2) How to get an overview of recent quarterly basemaps at zoom level 16? I queried the basemap overview as described in https://developers.planet.com/docs/basemaps/ with cur

Issue with API's harmonization tool

Hi Planet Community,My team and I are trying to download clipped and harmonized imagery through the API, the clip tool is running but the harmonized isn’t.We are working with the Surface Reflectance product bundle, so we defined Sentinel - 2 as the target sensor.Below, are the screenshots of the code we are using in Visual Studio IDLE. The goal is to integrate the workflow into an ArcGIS Toolbox.If anyone has worked with this tool or knows the reason why our code is failing we’ll be glad for the help.Thanks in advance.
