  3. 11

    List saved searches

    Returns search names, IDs, filter criteria, item types, and creation dates. Essential for managing monitoring workflows, reviewing existing search configurations, and selecting searches for execution. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me all my saved searches", "list my monitoring configurations", or need to review existing saved searches before executing them. List all saved searches in your Planet account

  4. 12

    Quick search

    Supports item types including PSScene (PlanetScope, 3-5m resolution, daily globalThis coverage), SkySat (sub-meter resolution, high-detail), RapidEye (5m resolution, historical archive), Landsat 8/9 (30m resolution, USGS), and Sentinel-2 (10m resolution, ESA). Returns imagery items with acquisition dates, cloud cover percentages, sun elevation, instrument mode, geometry, and available asset types. Essential for satellite imagery discovery, change detection analysis, disaster monitoring, and agricultural assessment. AI agents should use this when users ask "find cloud-free imagery over this area from last month", "search for PSScene images of my farm", or need to discover available satellite imagery for a specific location and time period. Geometry must be provided as GeoJSON (Point, Polygon, or MultiPolygon). Date filtering uses the acquired property in ISO 8601 format. Cloud cover and sun elevation are filtered using the filter object with range operators. Search for satellite imagery from Planet Labs with geometry, date, and cloud cover filters

FAQ

Questions Planet Labs owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI search for cloud-free satellite imagery over my farm from last month?

    Yes! Use the quick_search capability with your farm boundary as GeoJSON geometry, date range for last month, item_types=PSScene, and max_cloud_cover=10 (for 10% or less cloud cover). The search returns all available imagery matching your criteria with acquisition dates, cloud cover percentages, and download URLs for visual and analytic assets. For ongoing monitoring, create a saved search with create_saved_search and execute it regularly with get_search_results.

  • 02

    What is the difference between PSScene, SkySat, and RapidEye imagery?

    PSScene (PlanetScope) provides daily global coverage at 3-5m resolution with 200+ satellites, ideal for broad-area monitoring and time-series analysis. SkySat offers sub-meter resolution (0.5-0.9m) with video capability, perfect for detailed inspection of specific sites. RapidEye provides 5m resolution with a 5-band sensor (including red-edge) and a deep historical archive dating back to 2009. Use list_item_types to see all available imagery types and their supported asset types.

  • 03

    How do I set up automated daily imagery delivery for my area of interest?

    Use the create_subscription capability with your area geometry, item types (e.g., PSScene), and cloud cover filter. You can specify delivery to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, or webhook endpoints. The subscription will continuously deliver new imagery matching your criteria as it becomes available. To manage existing subscriptions, use list_subscriptions to review and monitor active deliveries.
