Digital Earth Africa API

Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) is a continental-scale open data platform that makes analysis-ready satellite data freely accessible for the entire African continent, providing tools, datasets, and APIs that allow researchers, governments, NGOs, and developers to extract valuable insights from years of Earth observation imagery without requiring specialized remote sensing expertise or high-performance computing infrastructure. Backed by African governments and international development partners including the African Union, Digital Earth Africa addresses the fundamental challenge that satellite data while publicly available historically required substantial technical expertise and computing resources to process, making it inaccessible to most African organizations.
