On February 11, we announced the deprecation of the Sentinel Hub Third-Party Data Import (TPDI) API for Planet data. Today, we are sharing important updates to help you navigate this transition until the official TPDI service sunset for use with Planet data on November 11, 2026.
Delivering Data to Data Collections
Moving forward, all new Planet data orders and subscriptions should be managed through the Planet Insights Platform. This applies whether you are delivering to a new data collection or to an existing one. To ensure a smooth transition, we recommend the following transitions when delivering to a new data collection:
- API Users: If you use the TPDI API for ordering and subscribing to Planet data, please transition to the Orders API or Subscriptions API.
- We prepared a dedicated FAQ entry to help you with the API transition.
- 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.
Update on Existing TPDI Data Collections
Previously, we advised users to continue using the TPDI API to deliver to existing data collections until further notice. That transition path is now available.
Your existing TPDI Planet data collections are now visible and manageable within the Planet Insights Platform Data Collections (under the PLANET tab). This integration allows you to:
- Deliver New Data: You can now direct new Planet Orders or Subscriptions to deliver to these existing data collections.
- Keep Existing Subscriptions: Your existing subscriptions will keep delivering the data. On November 11, 2026, they will be automatically migrated to Planet Insights Platform.
Looking Ahead: Sunset Timeline
On November 11, 2026, the TPDI API will be fully sunset for use with Planet data. At that time, the following functionalities will be removed from the TPDI API:
- Creation of new orders or subscriptions.
- Listing or managing existing orders/subscriptions.
- Original data downloads.
Automatic Migration of Active Subscriptions
To ensure continuity, Planet will proactively migrate any TPDI subscriptions scheduled to run past November 11, 2026 to Planet Insights Platform.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Planet Support.
