Open Data

Tilebox not only provides access to your own, private datasets but also to a growing number of public datasets. These datasets are available to all users of Tilebox and are a great way to get started and prototype your applications even before data from your own satellites is available.

​

Accessing Open Data through Tilebox

Accessing open datasets in Tilebox is straightforward and as easy as accessing your own datasets. Tilebox has already ingested the required metadata for each available dataset, so you can query, preview, and download the data seamlessly. This setup enables you to leverage performance optimizations and simplifies your workflows.

By using the datasets API, you can start prototyping your applications and workflows easily.
