STAC

Search STAC items with full-featured filtering.

Retrieve items matching filters. Intended as the standard, full-featured query API.

post/search

Request body

queryQuery

Define which properties to query and the operations to apply

bboxnumber[]

Only features that have a geometry that intersects the bounding box are selected. The bounding box is provided as four numbers:

  • Lower left corner, coordinate axis 1
  • Lower left corner, coordinate axis 2
  • Upper right corner, coordinate axis 1
  • Upper right corner, coordinate axis 2

The coordinate reference system of the values is WGS84 longitude/latitude (http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84).

For WGS84 longitude/latitude the values are in most cases the sequence of minimum longitude, minimum latitude, maximum longitude and maximum latitude. However, in cases where the box spans the antimeridian the first value (west-most box edge) is larger than the third value (east-most box edge).

Example: The bounding box of Switzerland in WGS 84 (from 5.96°E to 10.49°E and from 45.82°N to 47.81°N) would be represented in JSON as [5.96, 45.82, 10.49, 47.81] and in a query as bbox=5.96,45.82,10.49,47.81."

datetimestring

Either a date-time or an interval, open or closed. Date and time expressions adhere to RFC 3339. Open intervals are expressed using double-dots. Examples:

  • A date-time: "2018-02-12T23:20:50Z"
  • A closed interval: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/2018-03-18T12:31:12Z"
  • Open intervals: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/.." or "../2018-03-18T12:31:12Z"

Only features that have a temporal property that intersects the value of datetime are selected.

When used as URL query argument, the value must be correctly url-encoded.

collectionsstring[]

Array of Collection IDs to include in the search for items. Only Items in one of the provided Collections will be searched.

idsstring[]

Array of Item ids to return. All other filter parameters that further restrict the number of search results are ignored

limitinteger

The limit parameter limits the number of results that are included in the response.

To retrieve the next bunch of result, use the next link in the links section of the response.

Minimum = 1. Maximum = 100. Default = 100.

forecast:reference_datetimestring

Either a date-time or an interval, open or closed. Date and time expressions adhere to RFC 3339. Open intervals are expressed using double-dots. Examples:

  • A date-time: "2018-02-12T23:20:50Z"
  • A closed interval: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/2018-03-18T12:31:12Z"
  • Open intervals: "2018-02-12T00:00:00Z/.." or "../2018-03-18T12:31:12Z"

Only features that have a temporal property that intersects the value of datetime are selected.

When used as URL query argument, the value must be correctly url-encoded.

forecast:horizonstring

ISO 8601 compliant duration

forecast:durationstring

ISO 8601 compliant duration

forecast:variablestring nullable

Name of the model variable that corresponds to the data. The variables should correspond to the CF Standard Names, e.g. air_temperature for the air temperature.

forecast:perturbedboolean nullable

Denotes whether the data corresponds to the control run (false) or perturbed runs (true). The property needs to be specified in both cases as no default value is specified and as such the meaning is "unknown" in case it's missing.

Example request
