Delta Recipes
One workflow, four ways to run it. Each recipe shows the same job in the web app, over the REST API, in Python (the runnable examples shipped with the SDK), and from an MCP-connected agent. An API key from any plan works; per-request costs are on each endpoint in the API reference. The Python files are also a repository you can clone: Off-Nadir-Lab/offnadir-delta-examples.
Your first query — balance, then the top signals in an area
You have an API key and want to see real data in under a minute, without spending tokens on the wrong call.

A collection manager’s loop — rank targets, plan imagery, check the next pass
You can only task or review so much imagery; the question is which events deserve it, what to collect, and when the next opportunity is.
WebRESTPythonMCP
Read everything — cursor pagination, then server-side aggregates
A first page is not the result set. You want every matching signal, and then counts that the server computes more cheaply than you can.

Signals and imagery, concurrently
An event feed and a scene catalog answer different questions; production code usually needs both, and they do not need to wait for each other.

AI deep-dive — assess one signal, then ask the analyst
A row tells you what was reported; you want an assessment of what satellites could verify, and a sourced answer to a free-form question.
WebRESTPythonMCPAI
Call the MCP tools directly from Python
You are building an agent (or testing one) and want to exercise the MCP endpoint itself — initialize, list tools, call one — without a chat client in the way.
PythonMCP
A daily situation briefing for your agent
You want your agent to start the day from the same synthesized world picture an analyst would — not from a fresh, unanchored search.
WebRESTMCP
Assess the top signal in an area
One question, end to end: what is the most severe thing happening here, and can a satellite settle it?
WebRESTMCPAI
Watch an area of interest for escalation
You are responsible for one area and want to know what escalated recently and what deserves collection — and to keep being told without re-running anything.
WebRESTMCP
Market exposure check
Which recent physical events could plausibly move a market you care about (oil, grain, shipping), and through what transmission channel? Informational only — not investment advice.

From headline to satellite evidence
One connected intelligence workflow across four surfaces — free to start, no GIS software or remote-sensing background required.
