Hello, I am working with Sentinel-1 time series. Is it possible to create a WMTS link for several dates via the configuration utility ? or using another approach ?

Hello, I am sure what you are trying to do is possible. Can you explain in a little more detail what you are trying to do? Do you want a WMTS link for each individual date or are you trying to create a composite of several dates?

In our documentation we have an example of a WMTS request that I’m sure you’re familiar with and much more about the parameters can be found here.

Once I know more, we can work together to find the best approach 🙂


Hi @geos-te,
You can configure the WMTS layers to represent specific time periods. I suggest you check how this is done in the “IACS template”:

  • Create new instance, using the template
  • Check the relevant layers’ configurations


Hello William,
The idea would be to have a single WMTS link with several layers in it. I know it is possible because we use some WMTS links like that (not generated by Sentinel Hub). For a given area of interest, each layer corresponds to a satellite image at a given date.

In that case it would be much better to simply configure one layer and use TIME parameter, which works in OGC WMTS.
You can automate it in the following way:


Thank you @gmilcinski, it is getting close to what we need.

Is there a way to automate the creation of these layers to have one per Sentinel-1 date or one per sentinel-1 image ? We typically want to scan all the available Sentinel-1 images available in a given AOI, leading to more than 2000 acquisitions/layers.
