This article explains how to order Planet data and deliver it directly to Google Earth Engine (GEE) using the Planet Orders API or Subscriptions API.

Before you begin

Set up the following before you configure a delivery:

• Create a Google Earth Engine account.
• Create a Google Cloud project, and within it a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket to act as the delivery target for Planet data.
• Grant access permissions to the Planet service account so it can upload data to the bucket and into Google Earth Engine.
• Make sure the destination Earth Engine ImageCollection already exists. You can create one in the Earth Engine Code Editor or with the Earth Engine CLI.
• Identify the imagery you want and its item IDs using the Data API, Planet Explorer, or a supported GIS integration.

Order and deliver the data

Once the setup is complete, use the Planet Orders API for one-time deliveries, or the Subscriptions API for recurring deliveries. Configure the order with details such as item_ids, item_type, and product_bundle, and send it directly to the destination Earth Engine image collection.

For the full ordering and delivery workflow, follow Order data to Google Earth Engine in the Planet documentation.

Work with the delivered data

In the Earth Engine Code Editor, you can create collections, load data, and visualize results. Planet also offers a course, Planet Data Delivery to Google Earth Engine (GEE), that walks through the complete workflow.
