Raster Tiles API

The Digime Raster Tiles API serves raster tiles generated from satellite imagery and raster data.

Tiles served from the Raster Tiles API can be consumed in any spatial application that supports image-based tilesets, including frontend mapping libraries like Mapbox GL JS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, as well as GIS software like QGIS.
