Dataset description

ESM_BUILT_VHR2018_Europe_R2020_3035_02 is a spatial raster dataset that is mapping human settlements in Europe, based on Copernicus Very High Resolution optical coverage for reference year 2018. ESM 2018 exploits the Copernicus VHR_IMAGE_2018 dataset made of satellite images Pleiades 1A & 1B, SuperView-1, Kompsat-3/3A and PlanetScope with backup missions of Spot-6/7, TripleSat and Deimos-2 ranging from 2017 to 2019. ESM_BUILT_VHR2018_Europe_R2020_3035_02 classifies the residential and non-residential buildings at a spatial resolution of 2 meters (EPSG:3035).

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
