Choose data offerings from the glossary using the API.


Overview

The glossary provides information on UP42 data offerings. It helps you create tasking or catalog orders.

Collections

Collections are geospatial datasets available for ordering.

You can retrieve collections in one of the following ways:

Collection integration values

Integration values indicate mandatory ordering steps, available actions, and mandatory or optional operations for a given collection. You can search for collections with specific integration values by specifying them in the integrations query parameter of the Get geospatial collections endpoint.

Mandatory ordering steps

Integration values for mandatory ordering steps have the REQUIRED suffix.

Integration valueDescription
ACCESS_APPROVAL_REQUIREDThis collection is restricted and requires an access request.
MANUAL_REQUEST_REQUIREDThis collection isn’t integrated either on the console or the API and requires filling out an ordering form from its marketplace page.
QUOTATION_REQUIREDThe ordering process for this collection includes a price quotation.

Available actions

Integration values for available actions have the AVAILABLE suffix.

Integration valueDescription
SAMPLE_DATA_AVAILABLEThis collection has sample data.
SEARCH_AVAILABLEThis collection allows for a catalog search.
PRICE_ESTIMATION_AVAILABLEThis collection allows for automatic price estimation.
QUICKLOOK_AVAILABLEThis collection has quicklooks, that is, previews of full scenes on a basemap.
THUMBNAIL_AVAILABLEThis collection has thumbnails, that is, small, light-weighted previews of full scenes.

Mandatory or optional operations

Integration values for either mandatory or optional operations have the MAY_BE_REQUIRED suffix.

Integration valueDescription
FEASIBILITY_MAY_BE_REQUIREDA feasibility study might be required for ordering this collection.

Data products

Data products are a type of imagery with a specific geometric and radiometric processing level and file format. All collections have different data products corresponding to their technical specifications.

You can retrieve data products in one of the following ways:

  • To get a list of all data products, call the Get data products endpoint.
  • To get a specific data product, call the Get a data product endpoint with the data product name as the path parameter.

To create a tasking or a catalog order, you will need a data product ID.

Producers

Data producers are companies that initially acquire and process the source data. Data acquired by a producer can be distributed to various hosts.

To get a list of all available data producers with metadata, call the Get data producers endpoint.

Hosts

Data hosts are providers that offer access to data acquired by a producer. Hosts are either commercial or non-commercial. Non-commercial hosts provide access to open data.

To get a list of available data hosts with metadata, call the Get data hosts endpoint.
