Command line interface (CLI)#

stactools installs stac as a command-line entrypoint. To display all the available commands:

$ stac --help

stactools-packages can extend the command line interface with their own commands via a plugin mechanism. For example, you can browse a STAC catalog via a local server running stac-browser via:

$ pip install stactools-browse
$ stac browse catalog.json

See specific stactools-package documentation for information about what commands are available.

Note

If you’ve installed stactools with AWS S3 support via pip install 'stactools[s3]', you can enable requester pays via:

$ AWS_REQUEST_PAYER='requester' stac copy # ...etc...
