Coverage API

The Coverage API lets you check where Spexi has drone imagery available, expressed as H3 hexagonal cells. Use it to render a coverage map, query coverage for an area, or look up detail on a specific zone before placing a tasking order.

Endpoints

• Get Coverage Tiles - fetch MVT vector tiles of coverage for map rendering, by zoom/x/y

• Query Coverage - query aggregated coverage zones by bounding box or point

• Get Zone Details - fetch full coverage detail for a single H3 cell, including missions and latest capture

Choosing an Endpoint

Get Coverage Tiles returns vector tiles (MVT) meant for rendering a coverage layer on a map at a given zoom level. Use this to visualize coverage across an area.

Query Coverage returns aggregated zone data for a bounding box or point. Useful when you need the underlying coverage data itself rather than a map layer, for example, to check coverage programmatically before deciding whether to place a tasking order.

Get Zone Details returns full detail for one H3 cell (mission list, mission count, latest capture date). Use this once you've identified a specific zone, for example, after retrieving a response from Query Coverage.

Filtering

All three endpoints support the same capture type and date filters, and the same entitlement filter.

Entitlement Filtering

Pass entitled=true to restrict results to coverage the authenticated caller is entitled to, rather than all coverage that exists. This requires authentication; passing entitled=true without valid auth returns a 401. Omit it (or leave it false) to see all coverage regardless of entitlement.
