Stream SkyFi orders directly on ArcGIS

Stream your SkyFi imagery and analytics into ArcGIS as live map layers with WMTS. Access ordered assets directly in your GIS without downloading files, re-uploading data, or switching between systems.

  1. Copy

    Copy the WMTS Service Link URL from My Orders.

  2. Connect

    Add the connection in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro (Insert → Connections → New WMTS Server), or register once in ArcGIS Enterprise for organization-wide access.

    Delivered images appear as named layers with acquisition date and provider. Tiles load on demand and align with existing project data.

SkyFi ArcGIS Widget search, task, and order steps over a map

Search, task, and order inside ArcGIS

Search archives, task new captures, upload shapefiles, and order imagery directly from the SkyFi ArcGIS Widget. Keep discovery and ordering closer to the maps where your team already works.

  1. Search from existing layers

    Select features from an active polygon layer to define the search area, or import shapefile, WKT, KML, or GeoJSON.

  2. Compare archive results

    Filter existing captures across SkyFi's provider network by resolution, capture date, cloud cover, and AOI coverage.

  3. Task a satellite

    Request new imagery with a defined capture window when archive coverage is insufficient.

  4. Order with budget visibility

    Select a product, review pricing against organizational budgets, and place the order without leaving the application.

    Query the archive, check tasking feasibility, and retrieve pricing through REST endpoints.

  2. Order and track

    Place archive and tasking orders, monitor status, and receive delivery notifications via webhooks.

  3. Deliver to cloud storage

    Imagery is delivered directly to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob for enterprise imagery pipelines and ArcGIS ingestion.
