DirectView & WMTS

An order is called a pipeline in the SkyWatch platform. View purchased imagery without downloads and integrate as WMTS in ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, etc. Order must be on-platform with COG outputs (exceptions apply; see notes).

DirectView URL​

curl --location --globoff \
  'https://directview.earthcache.com/createview/{{pipelineID}}' \
  --header 'x-api-key: {{User_API_Key}}'

Response includes a viewer URL; a separate "Viewer Link" is safe for broader sharing.

WMTS URL​

curl --location --globoff \
  'https://directview.earthcache.com/wmts/{{pipelineID}}' \
  --header 'x-api-key: {{User_API_Key}}'

Or generate both (and for multiple orders) with Multi-DirectView: POST https://directview.earthcache.com/multi with {"pipeline_ids":[...]} .

note

Older or off-platform (EC-X) deliveries may not produce WMTS (e.g., zipped/non-COG). Coordinate with Support if WMTS is required off-platform.
