FAQ

Common questions

What is TerraByte AI?

TerraByte is an Earth search engine that lets you query live satellite imagery and global event streams using natural language. It combines real-time geospatial ingestion, predictive AI, and developer APIs in one platform — so a question like "where are oil storage tanks near this port?" returns ranked imagery matches instead of requiring a specialist analyst and a stack of tools.

How does the TerraByte API work?

TerraByte exposes a JSON REST API at https://portal.terrabyte.ai/api. POST /api/search accepts a natural-language query and returns ranked tile matches with latitude, longitude, year, and a relevance score. Authentication is via a signed-in session today; partner bearer tokens are issued during onboarding. Anything that speaks HTTP and JSON can consume it directly — no SDK required.

What kind of events does TerraByte detect?

TerraByte ingests over 15 million events per day across categories including wildfires, storms, infrastructure changes, and environmental shifts, with roughly 0.4-second latency from satellite to API.

Which languages and SDKs are supported?

Anything that speaks HTTP and JSON can consume the TerraByte API directly. The portal exposes the same endpoints the dashboard uses, so curl, Python's requests, fetch from a browser, or any HTTP client works out of the box.

How do I get access to TerraByte?

Request early access by emailing info@terrabyte.ai, or try the research Alpha. Production API keys and dashboards are provisioned during onboarding.
