Earth Search is powered by FilmDrop

Giving you access to a central search catalog and standardized STAC metadata via a single API

Examples

Earth Search

Search for recent imagery of Alexandria, VA

Since geometry queries can be complex, pystac-client provides an easier way to search STAC APIs.

GeoJSON

With a GeoJSON Feature as a file <aoi.geojson>, search for recent imagery with:

stac-client search https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1 --intersects aoi.geojson --datetime

Cloud Free Imagery

Search the entire archive for cloud-free imagery:

stac-client search https://earth-search.aws.element84.com --intersects aoi.geojson -p eo:cloud_cover<5

Limit Searches

Since Earth Search contains multiple collections, it can also be helpful to limit search to a specific collection:

stac-client search https://earth-search.aws.element84.com --intersects aoi.geojson --datetime 2019-01-01/2019-05-01 -c
