Planet QGIS Plugin¶

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

The new Planet QGIS Plugin provides the following enhancements:

• Customers can access the new publishing stage filters for PlanetScope data. The filters provide the ability to see even more available PlanetScope imagery in your Area of Interest (AOI). More details on the publishing stage filters are available in, Items & Assets.

• Customers can apply a composite tool at order checkout. The composite tool seamlessly arranges scenes to produce a reduced number of images with minimal or no overlap. By eliminating unnecessary overlaps within the imagery, the overall area covered in the delivered imagery for an AOI or strip is decreased.

Note: The PSOrthoTile Item Types are deprecated and have been removed from this version of the Planet QGIS Plugin.

All unrectified PlanetScope images will be published 🙌🏻¶

Starting on July 19, 2023 Planet will publish all unrectified PlanetScope images. For more information on what this means, read our Publishing All Unrectified PlanetScope Imagery knowledgebase article.

New ✨¶

The subscriptions API now has a parameter called time_range_type

The Subscriptions API requires that users provide a start_time and end_time parameter to filter to a Time of Interest (TOI). Historically, these parameters filter items based on their published timestamp, which represents when the item is first published in Planet’s item store. However, most customers want to get imagery based on the time when an image is acquired rather than published.

Today we have introduced a new optional parameter to the Subscriptions API called time_range_type. With this new parameter, customers can choose which time range type they would like to receive: acquired or published.
