Maxar Technologies (maxar-technologies)

About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Maxar Technologies was a publicly traded Earth-imaging and space-systems company formed from the 2017 merger of MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) with DigitalGlobe (founded 1992 in Oakland, California). In December 2022 private-equity firm Advent International agreed to take Maxar private in a USD 6.4 billion cash deal that closed in May 2023, after which Advent split the company into two operating units: Maxar Intelligence (imagery and geospatial software in Westminster, Colorado) and Maxar Space Systems (satellite manufacturing in Palo Alto, California). On 1 October 2025 both units rebranded — Maxar Intelligence became Vantor and Maxar Space Systems became Lanteris Space Systems. On 13 January 2026 Intuitive Machines completed the acquisition of Lanteris from Advent for approximately USD 800 million, leaving Vantor as the sole remaining Advent-owned successor of the Maxar brand. The public developer surface for the original Maxar APIs — imagery search, streaming (WMS/WMTS/WFS), tasking, ordering, monitoring, authentication and account services — is now delivered through the Vantor Hub (hub.vantor.com / pro.maxar.com) and the Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP) SDKs (Python, Java, R). The Maxar Open Data Program continues to publish a public STAC catalog of pre-/post-event high-resolution imagery on AWS Open Data.
