PySTAC Client Documentation

The STAC Python Client (pystac_client) is a Python package for working with STAC Catalogs and APIs that conform to the STAC and STAC API specs in a seamless way. PySTAC Client builds upon PySTAC through higher-level functionality and ability to leverage STAC API search endpoints.
