Using Planet imagery in an Esri Story Map These are the accounts/tools you need to get started: Documentation and tutorials
Sign in to ArcGIS Online and click on Make a Map
Eplore the layout and tools in the ArcGIS webmap viewer
Select an area of interest. In this example, I'm zooming in to Yosemite National Park.
Under the Add dropdown menu, choose Add a layer from the web
In this example, I'm going to use Planet's WMTS Web Service.
Use the following request structure (with your Planet API key) to view the mosaics available to you from the Planet catalog.
https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/mosaics/wmts?api_key={your_api_key}
Click on Get Layers and choose a mosaic from the dropdown list. In this example, I'm going to use the Global Monthly 2017 08 Mosaic
Click Add Layer. In the map viewer, you'll see Planet's August 2017 mosaic zoomed in to Yosemite, our chosen area of interest.
