Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring how to use VIIRS data as a replacement for MODIS imagery in our monitoring platform. I can access to MODIS through Sentinel Hub’s Request Builder and EO Browser, but those datasets no longer provide recent imagery.
We’re now looking for a way to access recent VIIRS data (e.g., VNP43IA4 or equivalent) — ideally through an API — so it can be processed or integrated into our own monitoring system.
I understand that Planet’s Analysis Ready PlanetScope (ARPS) products are radiometrically harmonized with MODIS/VIIRS data, so I’d like to confirm:
-
Does Planet provide direct access to VIIRS imagery (or derived products) via its API?
-
If not, is there any recommended workflow or source (e.g., NASA LP DAAC, NOAA, or third-party integration) to retrieve current VIIRS data that could later be combined with Planet imagery?
-
Any examples or documentation about how to automate the download or ingestion of VIIRS scenes into a custom monitoring platform would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your time and guidance!
