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 2019-01-01/2019-05-01

Cloud Free Imagery

Search the entire archive for cloud-free imagery:

stac-client search https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1 –-intersects aoi.geojson --query '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/v1 –-intersects aoi.geojson -–datetime 2019-01-01/2019-05-01 -c landsat-c2-l2
