This notice is to allow you sufficient time to plan and update your code before the feature or capability is removed.
PSOrthoTile item type planned deprecation ⚠️¶
Starting on June 20th, 2023, users will be able to obtain PlanetScope images through PSScene item-type only. New PSOrthoTiles will no longer be pushed via APIs or Explorer after this date. Users will still be able to temporarily access the PSOrthoTile archive via API. This change streamlines access to PlanetScope data through a single source, improving the overall user experience. Please see our developer page to aid in this process.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶
Harmonize API conforms to OpenAPI Specification¶
On rare occasions, users generating clients based on the OpenAPI specification may have found that OpenAPI Operation IDs were not consistently following conventional constructions of VerbNoun or were pluralized when they should be singular. We have updated the Harmonize API to conform to the OpenAPI specification convention of VerbNoun and singular IDs.

Previous generation of Doves (instrument ids PS2 and PS2.SD) imaging turned off¶
On March 1, 2022 Planet released the next generation of Planet Scope images that consist of near daily 8-band imagery. Planet has been maintaining near-daily 8-band coverage coverage since August, 2021. With the recent successful launch of 44 8-band Doves, Planet has made the decision to turn off imaging with the previous generation of Doves (Instrument ids PS2 and PS2.SD) that only consists of 4-Bands (RGBNIR). The goal is to optimize for 8-band coverage and allocate all available ground station resources to improve publication time of 8-band imagery.
