Creating an API client is required to use Hydrosat's Discovery STAC API. This article covers the workflow for managing API Clients in the Discovery Portal.
The API Clients management interface is available only to users on your account with the Org Admin role.
To view the Client ID interface, click your user avatar in the top right corner of Discovery Portal and select Account.
Users with the requisite permissions will see the API Clients section on the Account page.
If you don't know who your team's Org Admin is, and you need access to the Client ID management interface, contact support@hydrosat.com for assistance.
Each account is limited to 4 total API clients, so consider this limit when creating new API clients.
Click New API Client on the right side of the API Clients section.
Provide a name for the API client that is easily recognizable to you and other Org Admins. Name is required.
(Optional) Provide a description.
Create API ClientImmediately upon creation, the client secret for the API client is displayed. This display is only temporary. Store the client secret in a safe and secure location in your environment as you will not be able to retrieve it from Discovery Portal in the future.
If you've lost the secret for your API client, Hydrosat is unable to retrieve it for you for security reasons. Instead, create a new API client, at which time a secret for the new API client will be provided to you. Delete any API clients you can no longer use.
If your Discovery Platform account is configured to allow data downloads, your access is based on areas of interest and/or specific scene IDs. The Discovery Portal includes some helpful tools to help you locate, search, and understand your downloadable data.
For help locating downloadable data via the STAC API, check out this separate article.
If you have access to downloadable data, the Downloadable toggle is available on the imagery search bar. Combine the Downloadable toggle with additional search filters, such as Acquisition Date or Cloud Cover , to find results for a subset of your downloadable data.
A Downloadable search includes results based on area of interest and specific scene ID, depending on how your account is configured.
For accounts with area of interest-based download access, you can view your Download Access Areas on the map. When using the Downloadable search toggle, as discussed above, the search automatically looks for results matching your Download Access Areas.
If the Downloadable toggle is not interactive, this means you don't yet have access to downloadable data. Contact our team for access.
