Tasking with Vessel Classification using the API

To include Vessel Classification on a tasking request, submit using the /task API endpoint with a payload tag specifying Vessel Classification ("VC" is the product code).

Details on how to make a tasking request are found in the Tasking API documentation. 

Vessel classification is added to a tasking request using the following syntax. Note: the "productTypes" field accepts multiple analytics for the same tasking request. 

 "processingConfig": {
     "productTypes": ["VC"]
 }

Notes:

• Window open and window close must adhere to the minimum collection windows for the specified collection tier.
• Coordinates are in (lon, lat) order
• Collection Type must be either "spotlight", "spotlight_ultra", or "stripmap".
