maxar-platform 1.0.7

Maxar Geospatial Platform SDK

maxar-platform

A Python SDK for working with Maxar Geospatial Platform

Version: 1.0.6

Introduction

maxar-platform provides wrappers around the MGP APIs with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It wraps popular and proven Python geospatial packages whenever possible, but also offers a core HTTP session object to use as a basis for more custom functionality.

APIs supported:

Discovery

Discovery is Maxar's catalog API. maxar_platform extends pystac-client to provide STAC search to the user.

Streaming APIs (OGC)

owslib methods are available for OGC access to imagery and image footprint OGC endpoints. In addition, maxar-platform provides a search client with a similar interface to the Discovery module that queries the images available from these endpoints

Ordering, Monitoring, and Tasking APIs

These endpoints can be accessed through matching modules and functions.

Raster Analytics

Open any image available in Raster Analytics with rasterio as if the image was a Cloud Optimized Geotiff. Pixel data is generated on-the-fly.

Authentication

An underlying session object handles authentication and communication with the APIs. Also included is a module for managing API Keys.

Installation

pip install maxar-platform

To use the Raster Analytics module, you will also need to install rasterio.
