# Cecil Earth

> Cecil is a spatial data platform for enterprise and developer teams. One contract, one integration, 40+ commercial and open spatial datasets — curated by scientists and ready for analysis.

Cecil provides a unified API and Python SDK for accessing, subscribing to, and analysing geospatial datasets. All datasets are standardised, scientifically curated, and delivered in formats ready for Python, CLI, and agentic workflows.

## Key resources

- [Articles](https://cecil.earth/blog): 16 articles on spatial data, nature risk, and geospatial analysis
- [Documentation](https://docs.cecil.earth): Full API and SDK reference
- [Getting started](https://docs.cecil.earth/getting-started): Quickstart guide and API key
- [SDK reference](https://docs.cecil.earth/sdk): Python SDK and CLI documentation
- [Contact / sales](https://cecil.earth/contact-us): Enterprise enquiries and volume pricing

## Use cases

- EUDR deforestation due diligence on commodity sourcing parcels
- TNFD nature-related financial disclosures and biodiversity risk assessment
- SBTN science-based targets for nature — assess, prioritise, and set targets
- CSRD ESRS E1, E3, E4 environmental disclosure data
- Carbon accounting, MRV, and voluntary carbon market workflows
- Physical climate risk screening for TCFD and ISSB S2 disclosure
- Supply chain due diligence and sensitive area screening
- Agricultural risk assessment and drought monitoring

## Integration

Cecil datasets are accessible via:
- Python SDK (`pip install cecil`)
- Command-line interface (`cecil`)
- REST API with standard authentication

Datasets are returned as xarray Datasets (NetCDF/Zarr), GeoJSON, or WMS/WMTS — compatible with QGIS, Leaflet, Kepler.gl, and standard geospatial pipelines.
