PySTAC

PySTAC is a library for working with the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog specification in Python 3.

Installation

Install from PyPi (recommended)

python -m pip install pystac

If you would like to enable the validation feature utilizing the jsonschema project, install with the optional validation requirements:

python -m pip install 'pystac[validation]'

If you would like to use the orjson instead of the standard json library for JSON serialization/deserialization, install with the optional orjson requirements:

python -m pip install 'pystac[orjson]'

If you would like to use a custom RetryStacIO class for automatically retrying network requests when reading with PySTAC, you'll need urllib3:

python -m pip install 'pystac[urllib3]'

If you are using jupyter notebooks and want to enable pretty display of pystac objects you'll need jinja2

python -m pip install 'pystac[jinja2]'

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/stac-utils/pystac.git
cd pystac
python -m pip install .

Running the quickstart and tutorials

There is a quickstart and tutorials written as jupyter notebooks in the docs/tutorials folder. To run the notebooks, run a jupyter notebook with the docs directory as the notebook directory:

jupyter notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 --notebook-dir=docs

You can then navigate to the notebooks and execute them.

Requires Jupyter be installed.
