EagleView
EagleView Imagery API

Commercial authenticated REST API for licensed discovery and retrieval of current and historical aerial imagery for caller-selected location geometry. The documented response contains repeated captures and ortho/oblique image collections, with per-capture start/end dates; raster, geometry, image collections, capture identifiers, imagery type, and resolution metadata remain in Source prose rather than being flattened. EagleView currently publishes 1–6 inch GSD imagery, decades of archives, and coverage of 94% of the U.S. population, with actual location access governed by the organization’s licence.

Maxar Intelligence
Maxar Geospatial Platform

Authenticated commercial platform for buyer-selected bounding boxes or GeoJSON AOIs. Its STAC Discovery API searches the DigitalGlobe archive by location, acquisition interval, collection, item id, and metadata; Ordering and Streaming deliver selected imagery; the Basemap API streams Vivid products and source-image metadata. Discovery, ordering, streaming, tiles, browse images, full-resolution downloads, and Vivid access are delivery/services of this one contracted platform, not separate Sources. Raster assets and geometries remain in Source prose. No roof-change or damage result is documented.

Nearmap
Nearmap Aerial Imagery

Standing subscription to current and historical vertical, panorama, oblique, and true-ortho aerial imagery. Buyers select unrelated locations through MapBrowser or authenticated Coverage, Tile, WMS, and Transactional Content APIs. Coverage results expose captureDate, firstPhotoTime, lastPhotoTime, survey/resource IDs, pixelSize/GSD, onlineTime, imagery type, and location metadata inside repeated survey/resource structures; imagery is raster. Those repeated and raster structures are retained here in prose and are not flattened into Features. MapBrowser and API families are delivery surfaces, not separate Sources.

Planet Labs PBC
Planet SkySat Imagery

Commercial SkySat scene/collect archive available to licensed users through Planet Data API search, Orders API, Subscriptions API, and file download. Buyers can search arbitrary GeoJSON AOIs and acquisition times, select catalog item ids, order full products, and subscribe to future matching captures. SkySat scenes have sub-meter products suitable for building-level visual context. APIs, Explorer, subscriptions, clipping, tasking, and download are access modes for one SkySat product family. No explicit roof-change or damage output is documented.

Vexcel Imaging
Vexcel Elements: Damage Assessment

Commercial, non-contributory Elements product that automatically analyzes post-disaster Gray Sky imagery and returns event-scoped, property/building-attributed damage records together with available pre-catastrophe attributes. The separate Damage API offers coverage, event, extract, tile, count, and PDF-report services; official documentation says assessments are generally generated within 24 hours after Gray Sky imagery publication. Exact outputs include post-catastrophe collection/event, capture date, image id, camera technology, GSD, orientation source, model version, roof debris/missing-material/structural-damage/tarp percentages, solar-panel and water-heater damage detections, and approximate FEMA classification. Availability is limited to properties inside qualifying post-disaster Gray Sky collections; it is not a causation opinion or a claim-specific commissioned report.
