Earthscale HTTP API

This is the API that can be used to add and list datasets. We recommend to use the Python API for this, since it makes it easier to authenticate. If you need help with using the HTTP API directly, please contact [email protected].

Dataset responses from this API return the URLs of the tilers that can be used to retrieve raster tiles or pixel information. The available tilers depend on the dataset type and whether or not the dataset has been accelerated already:

• The dynamic tiler works for any dataset.

  • Performance depends on the source data structure

• The fast tiler is only available for accelerated (pre-processed) datasets

  • Always high-performance

Both of these tilers use API keys to authenticate, so they are easy to integrate into your applications. The easiest way to obtain URLs for them is from the Earthscale web application (see Use Earthscale in Your Products)
