Our marketing team would like some minor changes to the documentation. Could you change the start of the main page to read as follows:
SEDAS API
We have recently launched our new SEDAS (Sentinel Data Access Service) API, giving you the opportunity for enhanced programmatic access to Sentinel data through the SEDAS portal. If you are new to SEDAS and would like more information, please visit the website on this link.
Core features that are provided by SEDAS through the API are:
• Searching for imagery in Sentinels catalogues and pre-planned acquisitions
• Retrieving a catalogue product using its ID
• Setting up an image alert to be notified of new relevant acquisitions
• Ordering and downloading products
The API is secured with a temporary token. To obtain a token you will need to send an authentication request using your SEDAS user account. The authentication request is described in detail here.
Terminology
Storage
• Rolling archive: (Short term storage) Includes the products directly available. It is necessary to request this information before to have it available
• LTA: (Long Term Storage) These products need to be requested first to be available.
• Sentinels Catalogues: Complete Sentinel Catalogue (LTA) and rolling archive
Searches
• Product/Image Scene: Data generated by a sensor
NOTE: All requests are returned by default in JSON format, to obtain XML it is necessary to include the header Accept: application/xml in each request
