Using the Vegetation Change Reports API

Requirements:

Generate automated reports on vegetation changes using NDVI analysis across all fields in your organization. This service provides a JSON with NDVI changes and variability patterns for comprehensive field monitoring based on the last 4 weeks of data.

You can use the Vegetation Change Report endpoint and Variability Change Report endpoint to generate comprehensive vegetation analysis reports.

When to use

Use Vegetation Change Reports when you need:

Up to Organization-level monitoring: Track all fields across up to organization-level
Time-saving analysis: Avoid manually checking each field individually
Recent change detection: Monitor vegetation changes over the last 4 weeks
Scouting prioritization: Identify fields that need immediate attention based on API data

How it works

The service analyzes NDVI data across all fields in your organization, analyzing the last 4 weeks of data to identify recent vegetation changes and variability patterns. The API returns structured JSON data with field-level analysis and scouting recommendations.

Quick start

Prerequisites: Choose your AOI
Choose report types: Select either change reports or variability reports
Request report generation: Submit request for NDVI change analysis
Process JSON response: Retrieve JSON data for the given AOI

Generating your first report

NDVI Change Report: Track vegetation changes across all fields
Variability Change Report: Monitor field uniformity and detect problem areas

Common use cases

Recent field monitoring: Generate change reports for proactive field management
Variability analysis: Monitor field uniformity patterns
Scouting optimization: Get field prioritization for scouting activities

Scouting recommendations

The API automatically identifies fields "Recommended for Scouting" using the following criteria:

Positive NDVI trend: The last two NDVI weeks show positive values
High variability threshold: The latest variability measurement exceeds 0.06
