How Do I Get Started?

To get started with OneAtlas Data Pay-per-Order, you will require an account and a configured contract. Please contact our Customer Care team intelligence-customer-care@airbus.com.


Once set-up, you will need to generate an API key here. Please refer to the dedicated Authentication Guide.
Using you API Key, you will need to get an access token that enables authorization. Authorization refers to the process of determining what permissions an authenticated client has for a set of resources.
For security reasons this access token expires regularly then it’s necessary to renew the authentication process to get a new one.

Overview of the ordering sequence

Step 1: Authenticate
  Retrieve a token using your API key for further actions


Step 2 (for tasking only): Check feasibility
  Know if your request needs to go through manual feasibility study and also get the ‘difficulty’ of your request in case of a automatic OnePlan request:

  • Result of the feasibility can be either AUTOMATIC or MANUAL. If MANUAL, your order will have to go through a quotation process.

  • Difficulty can be either EASY or CHALLENGING (this will impact the price)

Step 3 (for tasking only, limited to OneDay and OneNow offers) : Get attempts
  Get the possible acquisition attempts on the defined areas


Step 4 (optional): Get a price
  Get the price of your order

Note: Price can be calculated ONLY for orders that does not require feasibility study - meaning either archive or AUTOMATIC tasking


Step 5 (optional, for Pléiades Neo only): Request a quotation
  Request a quotation.

Note: Quotations are mandatory only in case of non-AUTOMATIC tasking but can be requested in any cases if necessary


Step 6: Create an order
  Create your order.

Note: You can request quotation even if the result of the feasibility is AUTOMATIC
Note: You can request a manual feasibility study even if the result of the feasibility is AUTOMATIC
