The new `open_data.aws_earth.sentinel2` dataset provides credentials-free access to Sentinel-2 metadata and Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). You can start working with satellite imagery using only your Tilebox API key—no external data provider account, separate credentials, or storage configuration required.

Query Level-2A scenes by time, location, cloud cover, or satellite platform, then resolve a result directly into Tilebox assets. From the same datapoint, you can inspect the available spectral bands, download a complete image, or open a COG remotely and read only the pixels covering your area of interest.

This makes it practical to move from catalog search to image processing in one workflow: find a low-cloud scene, select a band, crop it to a geographic region, and pass the resulting data into your analysis without first downloading an entire scene.

    Query a cloud-free scene and combine its red, green, and blue COG assets.
