Type-safe models

Pandas & GeoPandas integration

Retry & backoff built-in

Streaming responses

example

from velstrom import Client

client = Client(api_key="vstrm_...")
ndvi = client.indices.ndvi(bbox=[72.8, 18.9, 72.9, 19.0])
print(ndvi.to_dataframe())

JavaScript / TypeScript

Isomorphic SDK for Node.js and browser environments. Full TypeScript definitions and tree-shakeable ESM build.

const dem = await client.terrain.dem({ bbox: [72.8, 18.9, 72.9, 19.0] });
console.log(dem.elevation);

R

R SDK for statistical computing and geospatial analysis. Works seamlessly with sf, terra, and tidyverse workflows.

Caching layer

Spatial objects out of the box

example

library(velstrom)

client <- vstrm_connect(api_key = "vstrm_...")
ndvi <- vstrm_ndvi(client, bbox = c(72.8, 18.9, 72.9, 19.0))
plot(ndvi)

Under Development: SDKs are in active development. Python SDK is the most mature. JavaScript and R SDKs are in beta. Community contributions welcome.
