Planet and ArcGIS

Planet data can be integrated directly into ArcGIS workflows through several options, allowing users to access, analyze, and visualize satellite imagery. This documentation outlines the integration pathways to bring Planet's near-daily imagery into ArcGIS, enabling more efficient geospatial analysis and data management.

There are two primary methods for integrating Planet data into ArcGIS:

  1. ArcGIS Pro Plugin: Allows users to search, access, and download Planet imagery directly within ArcGIS Pro.
  2. Web Services: Stream Planet imagery into ArcGIS using OGC-compliant WMS and WMTS services for real-time data visualization and analysis.

This documentation will help you decide which integration method best suits your workflow and provide resources to get started.

Planet Add-in for ArcGIS Pro

Planet offers a native ArcGIS Pro add-in that allows users to search, access, and download Planet imagery directly within the ArcGIS Pro environment. The add-in provides access to Planet's archive of satellite imagery, enabling you to quickly find and download the data you need for your projects.

OGC Streaming Services

You can also integrate with ArcGIS through OGC web services like Web Mapping Services (WMS) and Web Map Tile Services (WMTS). These services allow you to stream Planet imagery directly into ArcGIS.

  • OGC API - You can use this API to create custom OGC services from Planet and public imagery sources.
  • Basemaps API - You can use this API to stream Planet Basemaps.
