Step 6: Download Your Data

Once a subscription reaches SUCCESS status, the retrieved data is available to download. Download links are valid for approximately 12 hours from when the run completed.

Finding the download

There are two ways to access download links:

From the Subscriptions list

On the Subscriptions screen, the Download column shows a green Available chip with a countdown (e.g., "Available 18h") when data is ready. Click the row to open Subscription Details, where you can download the files.

From Subscription Details

Click any subscription row on the Subscriptions screen to open its detail page. If a completed run has downloadable files, a download section appears showing each file's name, size, and an expiring link.

Click a file link to download it directly. If the links have expired, re-run the subscription to generate fresh ones — click the Run Now action on the Subscriptions screen or the Run Now button on the Subscription Details page.

Download expiry

Download links expire approximately 12 hours after they are generated. The Download column on the Subscriptions screen shows the remaining time. After expiry, the chip shows Expired and you need to re-run the subscription to get fresh links.

Using the data

The downloaded files are Apache Parquet with geometry as GeoJSON strings in the GEOM_WGS84 column. Load them into your data platform, GIS tool, or analytics environment — see Loading into your platform for verified snippets for BigQuery, Snowflake, DuckDB, and geopandas.
