– Integrating Satellite Data Analytics into Existing Systems and Workflows with Just a Few Lines of Code –

 

Space Shift has released the official SDKs (Python / JavaScript・TypeScript) and CLI (command-line tool) for its satellite data analytics API, "SateAIs™ API." Both are available as open-source software (MIT License) and can be immediately installed and used via PyPI and npm.
In April 2026, Space Shift launched the beta version of "SateAIs API," a self-serve platform for AI-powered satellite data analytics, with plans to introduce SDKs in subsequent phases. With this official release of the SDKs and CLI, the SDK now handles tedious integration tasks such as implementing HTTP requests, managing authentication, and polling for analysis completion. This allows customers to seamlessly integrate satellite data analytics into their own systems and analytical pipelines with just a few lines of code. 

■ Key Features of the Official SDKs and CLI 

• Run Analytics with Just a Few Lines of Code — Execute analyses and retrieve results (GeoJSON) seamlessly via native SDK method calls. Built-in automatic polling eliminates the need to implement custom state management for asynchronous jobs. 
• Designed to Fit Your Existing Development Environment — The Python version is optimized for data analysis and GIS workflows. The JavaScript version is zero-dependency, includes built-in type definitions, and runs out-of-the-box in both Node.js and modern browsers. 
• Automation Without Code via the CLI — The "sateais" command allows you to run analyses and fetch results directly from the terminal. By integrating it into shell scripts or cron jobs, you can automate routine monitoring tasks without writing any code. 

[ Python — Run Ship Detection and Retrieve Results in Just a Few Lines of Code ]

from sateais import Client

client = Client()
job = client.analyze.ship(scene_id=”S1A_IW_GRDH_…”)
result = client.jobs.wait(job.job_id

[ CLI — Run Analysis and Save Results with a Single Command ]

sateais analyze ship –scene-id S1A_IW_GRDH_… –wait -o ships.geojson

 

■ Available Packages 

Package	Supported Languages & Environments	Installation
sateais（SDK + CLI）	Python 3.x	pip install sateais
@sateais/sdk	JavaScript / TypeScript (Node.js 18+・Browser)	npm install @sateais/sdk

Both packages provide a unified interface to call all analytics features offered by the SateAIs API, including ship detection, oil slick detection, new building detection, demolished building detection, and time-series change detection. The source code is publicly available on GitHub (sateais-py / sateais-js) under the open-source MIT License, and the SateAIs API Docs have been newly updated with dedicated guides and references for both SDKs. 

■ Getting Started with SateAIs API 

To get started, simply register an account and generate an API key on the SateAIs API Console (https://console.spcsft.com/), then install the package. You can try all analysis features with the Free Plan, which includes 500 free credits per month. Note: SateAIs API is currently in beta. Features and pricing are subject to change without notice, and SLA (Service Level Agreement) guarantees do not apply. 

■ Future Roadmap 

Space Shift will continue to expand the SateAIs API as our core channel for delivering satellite data analytics. In addition to the newly released SDK and CLI, we will expand our supported satellites and analysis options, and enhance the development environment through generative AI integrations. By doing so, we aim to accelerate the creation of an environment where satellite data analysis can be seamlessly integrated into daily workflows across all industries and roles.
