Documentation of sentinelhub Python package

Introduction

The sentinelhub Python package is the official Python interface for Sentinel Hub services. It supports most of the services described in the Sentinel Hub documentation and any type of satellite data collections, including Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS, DEM, and custom collections produced by users.

The package also provides a collection of basic tools and utilities for working with geospatial and satellite data. It builds on top of well known packages such as numpy, shapely, pyproj, etc. It is also a core dependency of eo-learn Python package for creating geospatial data-processing workflows.

The main package resources are GitHub repository, documentation page, and Sentinel Hub forum.

Examples

The package has a collection of Jupyter notebooks with examples. They are available in the examples folder on GitHub and converted into documentation under Examples section.

Additionally, some examples are explained in Sentinel Hub webinar videos:

• Process API in Python

• OGC API in Python

Blog posts
