sentinelhub 3.9.5

Python API for Sentinel Hub

Introduction

The sentinelhub Python package is the official Python interface for Sentinel Hub services. It supports most of the services described in the Sentinel Hub documentation and any type of satellite data collections, including Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS, DEM, and custom collections produced by users.

The package also provides a collection of basic tools and utilities for working with geospatial and satellite data. It builds on top of well known packages such as numpy, shapely, pyproj, etc. It is also a core dependency of eo-learn Python package for creating geospatial data-processing workflows.

The main package resources are GitHub repository, documentation page, and Sentinel Hub forum.
