Planet has released version 3 of the Planet SDK for Python. If you are an active developer using the SDK, you should upgrade to the latest version.
What’s New
Version 3.0 includes the following major features:
- OAuth authentication #1134. In version 3 of the SDK, when you authenticate with a username and password, you will be directed to complete your sign-in through an OAuth login portal in your browser. Username and password authentication will no longer be allowed without completing the OAuth login flow. For automated scripts, API key authentication is still supported.
- Support for the Basemaps API #1142. You can list mosaics that you have access to and download Basemaps quads.
Migration and Support
Version 3.0 is a more incremental release than 2.x was over 1.x. For migration details, see the Upgrade from Version 2 to Version 3 migration guide.
Packages are available on Planet PyPi for download. Source code is available on GitHub.
According to the SDK’s support lifecycle phases, with the release of 3.x, version 2.x has entered maintenance mode. Version 2.x will remain available, but will only receive critical bug fixes.
If you have bug reports, feedback, or enhancement requests, please report them as GitHub issues.
