As we continue to integrate Sentinel Hub with Planet Insights Platform, we are announcing that the Sentinel Hub Third Party Data Import (TPDI) API is officially deprecated for use with Planet data. The API will be gradually sunset over the next nine months.
We strongly advise that you move your workflows to the new experience at insights.planet.com and with the Orders and Subscriptions API. While no immediate action is required today, we recommend reviewing the details below to help you plan for your future workflows.
Please note that this announcement pertains only to Planet data. If you have purchased Maxar data, you should continue to use the TPDI API.
What is happening?
- The TPDI API workflows for ordering and subscribing to Planet data have been replaced by the Orders API and Subscriptions API.
- The EO Browser user interface for ordering and subscribing to Planet data has been replaced by Planet Explorer for ordering and a new tool to create subscriptions.
These new tools are more integrated into the overall Planet customer experience and are where all future improvements will be added.
How to prepare?
- When you order or subscribe to Planet data and deliver to a new data collection, we strongly encourage you to transition to using the Orders and Subscriptions API, or equivalent web applications, as soon as convenient. This will ensure your workflows are future-proof to the pending removal of the TPDI API. Depending on your workflow, we recommend the following actions:
- API Users: If you use the TPDI API for ordering and subscribing to Planet data, please transition to the Orders API or Subscriptions API.
- EO Browser (Ordering): If you use EO Browser for ordering Planet data, please switch to Planet Explorer.
- EO Browser (Subscribing): If you use EO Browser for subscribing to Planet data, please switch to the new tool for creating subscriptions.
- If you are delivering Planet data to an existing TPDI data collection, please continue using TPDI as usual until further notice. The ability to use Planet Orders & Subscriptions APIs with the existing TPDI data collections will be available and announced in the coming weeks.
Please note that EO Browser will no longer be accessible on March 20, 2026 as announced: Important Update: Sunset of EO Browser and Sentinel Hub Dashboard.
We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. A detailed deprecation plan and technical migration guide will be shared in the coming weeks to ensure your operational workflows continue without disruption.
