Leaflet, QGIS, GDAL 1 minute start

Leaflet example

For running an interactive web map using Leaflet, you can start with this example file:

index.html [download raw file]

Edit the tiles URL (line 48) adding your key:

var Url = 'https://tile.sentinelmap.eu/2016/summer/rgb/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg?key=_my-sentinelmap-key_';

Now you can open it with your browser or deploy on the web.

Accessing Sentinelmap using the WMS format in GDAL

Accessing the service is also possible using the WMS format in GDAL. Service is accessed by using this local service description XML file:

wms_sentinelmap.xml [download raw file]

Edit the tiles URL (line 3) adding your key:

<ServerUrl>https://tile.sentinelmap.eu/2016/summer/rgb/${z}/${x}/${y}.jpg?key=_my-sentinelmap-key_</ServerUrl>

Now you can open it as raster layer with QGIS.

Or save an image with 'gdal_translate', usage examples:
