Tutorial: set up AOI monitoring and change notifications

Monitoring an area for change is one of the most common things our customers do. Here's the gist.

1. Define your AOI

Provide a polygon or bounding box and a coordinate reference system (e.g. EPSG:4326).

2. Choose a mode and cadence

Pick monitor mode with a cadence (say, every 14 days). TwinPlanet tasks new captures or pulls suitable archive imagery automatically.

3. Receive notifications

Our change-detection models compare each new capture to the baseline and flag new construction, demolition, encroachment or disaster damage — with an explainable evidence layer you can audit.

See the tasking API in the docs for the full request schema.
