Terravek ATLAS API & DataHub
Every Terravek capability, as an API.
The REST API, STAC catalogue and SDKs through which every ORBIS, GRIDSCAN, TIDEWATCH, AGRISENSE and FIELDKIT capability is available programmatically.
ATLAS is not a separate product so much as the way the other products are reached. Anything the ORBIS Viewer can do, ATLAS can do: task an acquisition, query the STAC catalogue, pull an analysis-ready raster, subscribe to a change alert, read a FIELDKIT node.
The API is versioned with a published deprecation policy: a major version is supported for 36 months after its successor ships, and breaking changes are never introduced within a major version. The OpenAPI 3.1 specification is public.
SDKs for Python, TypeScript and Go are open source under Apache 2.0 at github.com/terravek. The command-line client, orbis-cli, is the same code path the SDKs use.

Limitations
We state these on the product page rather than in a footnote during procurement. The sales cycle is eleven months and the truth surfaces anyway.
- The Sandbox tier serves a fixed 2024 sample catalogue and cannot task new acquisitions.
- Private STAC collections are an Enterprise feature.
- Bulk export above 2 TB per month is arranged through your account team, not self-service.
