Preview Thumbnail Image

Last Updated: May 2, 2022

---

You can get a thumbnail preview of a specific tile using the ARD browse service if you know the acquisition ID and cell ID for the tile you want to view. The preview does not require authentication and can be requested through Postman or directly from your browser.

The path to a preview image looks like:

https://ard.maxar.com/api/v1/browse/preview/{acquisition_id}/{cell_id}

Example:

https://ard.maxar.com/api/v1/browse/preview/10300100B39ACD00/Z13-031133320013

Try it out by pasting the above example into your browser. This will return a thumbnail preview of the image tile.

Note: The ARD Browse service supports preview of image tiles. It does not support view of a full acquisition image strip.
