Maxar (operating in 2026 as Vantor / Maxar Intelligence) is a high-resolution Earth observation and 3D geospatial provider operating the WorldView Legion, WorldView-3, WorldView-2, and GeoEye-1 constellations. The Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP), branded as Vantor Hub, is API-first: developers authenticate through the Authentication / Token Service, search the 125+PB Vivid, archive, and change-monitoring catalog through the Discovery API (STAC / GeoJSON), place orders through the Ordering API, stream imagery and basemaps through OGC-compliant WFS / WMS / WMTS services, retrieve 3D surface models, register Areas of Interest with the Monitoring API, and task new collections through the Tasking API (Fastview / Flexview). Raster and Vector Analytics expose NDVI, NDWI, change-monitoring vectors, and custom analysis graphs. An official Python SDK (maxar-platform) wraps the full surface.
