# 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](/api-reference/coverage-api/get-coverage-tiles.md) - fetch MVT vector tiles of coverage for map rendering, by zoom/x/y
* [Query Coverage](/api-reference/coverage-api/query-coverage.md) - query aggregated coverage zones by bounding box or point
* [Get Zone Details](/api-reference/coverage-api/zone-details.md) - 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.
