# Enterprise API overview

> Spatial query, ingestion, streaming and provenance verification. Access is granted per pilot.

The Vangrid Enterprise Spatial API gives programmatic access to verified spatial observations: query an area, ingest your own observations, subscribe to a live feed, and verify provenance independently.

Access is granted per pilot. Credentials are issued on onboarding and scoped to the regions your account is authorised for.

<Note>
  The API is in early access and is not publicly available. Endpoint URLs, request examples and sample responses across the API reference are illustrative. Contact [hello@vangrid.io](mailto:hello@vangrid.io) to request access.

## What the API covers

| Operation                                                 | Purpose                                                                       |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Spatial query](/api/spatial-queries)                     | Return verified observations for an area of interest and a time window        |
| [Data ingestion](/api/data-ingestion)                     | Submit your own observations into the network and receive a provenance record |
| [Streaming](/api/streaming)                               | Subscribe to a push feed of observations for a defined area                   |
| [Provenance verification](/data/cryptographic-provenance) | Confirm independently that an observation is authentic and unaltered          |

## Authentication and regions

Access uses bearer API keys. Keys are scoped to a region and rate limited per account. A key scoped to one region does not return observations from another; a request that crosses the boundary is rejected rather than silently filtered.

Regions are `us-east-1`, `eu-west-1` and `apac-1`. Dedicated residency configurations are available under an enterprise agreement.

## Provenance verification is the one that matters

Of the four operations, provenance verification is the one to read first. It answers a question no vendor can answer about itself: whether a given observation is authentic. It is designed to be answerable by a customer holding the observation and its hash, without trusting any other Vangrid response.
