Processing API

The Processing API is the most commonly used API to access data collections, as it provides images based on satellite data. Users can request raw satellite data, simple band combinations such as false colour composites, calculations of simple remote sensing indices like NDVI, or more advanced processing such as calculation of Leaf Area Index (LAI).

This API abstracts users away from the complexity created by the different satellite constellations scenes and tiles formats. It simply makes the data available over the chosen area of interest and temporal period of interest. Scenes and tiles are automatically stitched together based on defined parameters (AOI, time period, cloud coverage, priority, etc., depending on the data type).

CRS Support​

The list of coordinate reference systems supported by the API is provided below. The coordinate reference system must be set with a URL starting with http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/ and it must be set under the field input.bounds.properties.crs. For example, you must request in the WGS 84 reference system, defined with the URL http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326:

{
  "input": {
    "bounds": {
      "bbox": [
        12.8114318847656,
        41.9663828501025,
        12.8732299804687,
        42.0046623333086
      ],
      "properties": {
        "crs": "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326"
      }
    },
    "data": [
      {
        "type": "sentinel-2-l1c"
      }
    ]
  },
  ...
}

WGS 84​

WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator​

UTM Northern Hemisphere​

The last two digits of EPSG codes above represent the number of the corresponding UTM zone in the northern hemisphere. For example, use http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/32612 for UTM zone 12N.

UTM Southern Hemisphere​

The last two digits of EPSG codes above represent the number of corresponding UTM zone in southern hemisphere. For example, use http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/32712 for UTM zone 12S.
