QGIS plugin

In order to use the archive directly on QGIS, users should install the QGIS STAC plugin.

Installation

First, make sure you uninstall the plugin if it was already installed from the public repository.

Then, from the same screen, install the "STAC API Browser" plugin.

After this, a connection to the API has to be defined in QGIS as follows.

The URL for the connection should be the standard API endpoint https://api.satellogic.com/archive/stac.

Please contact our Customer Sucess team for guidance on how to get your credentials and then use the documentation to get your <ACCESS_TOKEN> and your <CONTRACT_ID>.

  2. X-Satellogic-Contract-Id, with the value of <CONTRACT_ID> that you are using (not shown).
