The Sentinel Hub is a set of RESTful APIs that provide access to various satellite imagery archives. It allows you to access raw satellite data, rendered images, statistical analysis, and other features.
The Sentinel Hub has the ability to automatically archive, process in real-time, and distribute remote sensing data and related Earth Observation products.
By utilizing APIs, you can retrieve satellite data and process it for your specific area of interest and time range from the complete archives in just a few seconds.

Processing API
The Processing API is the most frequently used API in Sentinel Hub. It generates images using satellite data for a user-specified area of interest, time range, processing, and visualization.
This API offers the easiest way to process satellite data, generate personalized visual representations of satellite images and maps using processed data, or download raw data.
Catalogue API
Sentinel Hub Catalogue is a powerful API for searching through satellite data archives. It implements the STAC Specification, which is a standardized method of describing geospatial information.
This tool can be used to explore the accessibility of any data collection that has been imported into Sentinel Hub.

Batch Processing API
Batch Processing API allows you to retrieve data for large regions and/or extended timeframes for any data collection supported by Sentinel Hub, including your own data. Rather than returning the data immediately in a request response, it delivers it to the object storage specified in the request.
Statistical API
The Statistical API allows you to obtain statistics that are calculated based on satellite imagery, without the requirement of downloading images. When you send a request to the Statistical API, you can define your area of interest, time frame, evalscript, and the statistical measures that need to be calculated. The result is a json file with the requested set of statistics for your area of interest.

Batch Statistical API
The Batch Statistical API allows you to request statistics for multiple polygons simultaneously and/or for longer aggregations, similar to the Statistical API. A typical scenario for using this API would be to calculate statistics for all parcels in a country.

Sentinel Hub Services Dashboard
Your user dashboard allows you to overview your account information, processing requests and credits usage statistics. It also includes the Configuration Utility for creating service endpoints that you can use for OGC AŐI requests and for embedding Copernicus Data in GIS software as a WMS/WMTS/WFS/WCS service. Under User Settings, it is possible to create and maintain OAuth clients for authentication within the Sentinel Hub API services.
