# WorldView Tasking ## Overview[​](#overview "Direct link to Overview") The Tasking API lets you request data collection over your Area of Interest (AOI) within a specified time frame. Tasking includes: * WorldView 2D imagery products * WorldView 3D elevation products * WorldView Radar data via Umbra ## Tasking API Version 2[​](#tasking-api-version-2 "Direct link to Tasking API Version 2") Tasking was upgraded to a new system on December 9, 2025.

Requires the V1 tasking ID. | Existing tasking requests placed in V1 are safe "on the deck" and will complete. You can use the V1 GET Tasking endpoint to check their status. If you wish to manually migrate outstanding tasking requests to the V2 tasking system you can reproduce them in V2 and then cancel the V1 request. V1 and V2 APIs are exclusive and cannot retrieve each other's requests. A V1 tasking ID can only be retrieved from the V1 endpoint. Attempting to retrieve a tasking ID that does not exist will return a `404 Not Found` error. V2 tasking IDs have the suffix `"-TASK"` appended to the numerical ID and can be used to determine which API the tasking request was created in.
