Console Web Interface

The Wyvern Console is a web UI for the Tasking service. It covers the same workflows as the Tasking API, including placing and approving orders, monitoring progress, and downloading imagery, without writing any code.

The Console and API share the same account and orders, so an order you place in the Console can be retrieved through the API (and vice versa).

Signing in​

Open the Console in your browser and sign in with your Wyvern account:

If you don't have an account yet, follow the Signing up guide. You'll need an approved account before you can place orders.

See the Environments guide for the difference between sandbox and production.

Placing an order​

From a chosen product, you can submit a tasking order directly in the Console. You'll provide required and optional parameters, which vary by product but typically include:

  • An Area of Interest (AOI) that meets the AOI requirements for the product.
    • Supported filetypes:
      • KML
      • GeoJSON
  • A collection window (start and end datetime).
  • Any product-specific order parameters.

You can choose whether to pre-approve the order on submission or leave it on hold for review. See Order lifecycle for how these states are represented.

Monitoring orders​

The Console shows your orders with their current status and reason code. Status values and what each one means are documented in Order lifecycle.

If an order is held, you can approve or cancel it from the Console. Orders that are still in progress can be cancelled by using the API or contacting your Wyvern account manager.

Downloading imagery​

Once an order reaches a status reason of fulfilled or partially fulfilled, deliverables become available for download from the Console under the orders details page.

When to use the API instead​

The Console is the quickest way to try Tasking and works well for one-off orders and operational monitoring. If you need to automate ordering, integrate deliverables into an existing pipeline, or place orders in bulk, use the Tasking API. See the example workflows for common integration patterns.

If you run into any issues with the Console, contact Wyvern support.
