We have introduced a visual workflow for creating data subscriptions directly within the Planet Insights Platform web application.
A subscription allows for you to request data based on an area and time range. It supports setting a time range that extends into the future, and all imagery that matches those filters is automatically delivered to you soon after Planet downlinks the image.
This update brings the capabilities of our Subscriptions API into the browser. You can now establish continuous data monitoring feeds without writing code.
What this means for your workflow
If you have a processing unit plan, you can now configure subscriptions visually:
- Define Areas of Interest: Select features from a feature collection, or draw directly on the map.
- Apply Filters: Select specific item types and metadata filters (e.g., max cloud cover).
- Automate Delivery: Set up persistent monitoring for new imagery that matches your criteria.
Availability & Roadmap
This feature is currently available to users with a processing unit plan who are delivering to data collections on Planet Insights Platform.
We are actively expanding this tool to support cloud storage destinations. This upcoming update will unlock the visual subscription builder for all other account types, enabling seamless delivery to your own infrastructure.
