# Public STAC catalogs and APIs

103 public STAC catalogs and STAC APIs — 34 APIs with Item Search and 69 static catalogs — that open in STAC Lens from its landing page. Every entry is a real, live, cross-origin-readable STAC root — except 3 that currently fail and are kept, each marked "not reachable since" below with the reason —, checked by a script against the server itself (reachable, CORS, `stac_version`, declared kind, something to show within three link hops) and re-checked every week; the last full pass was 2026-09-17. This is the list of catalogs the maintainers verified, not a directory of all STAC in the world — [STAC Index](https://stacindex.org/) is that, and most entries here were taken from it. Criteria, tags and the removal log: [docs/CATALOGS.md](https://github.com/rednotfound/stac-lens/blob/main/docs/CATALOGS.md).

Each entry links to the catalog's own root URL and to the same catalog opened in STAC Lens, where its structure, extents and health findings are drawn. Tags (topic, region, publisher) are an editorial vocabulary defined below.

## Tags

Neither STAC nor STAC Index classifies catalogs, so the landing page's
facet filters rest on an editorial vocabulary of our own, defined in
`src/data/catalogTags.ts` and here. It is **closed**: a record may only use
the values below (a unit test and the verifier reject anything else), and
adding a value means adding it in both places with a definition. Every
assignment is a judgment made from the catalog's own title, description
and a look at its contents; a wrong one is fixed by a pull request that
changes the record, the same as any other data fix.

Filtering is a union within a facet and an intersection across facets:
"Elevation or Imagery, in Oceania, from a government".

### Topic (`topics`, one or more)

| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `eo-imagery` | Imagery: satellite, aerial, drone or street-level pictures, at any processing level. |
| `climate-weather` | Climate and weather: reanalyses, forecasts, hazard scenarios, snow and ice. |
| `elevation` | Elevation and terrain: DEMs, LiDAR point clouds, bathymetry. |
| `land-cover` | Land cover and land use maps and their derivatives. |
| `vector-basemap` | Vector and basemap data: buildings, roads, addresses, boundaries, cadastre, points of interest. |
| `ocean-hydrology` | Ocean, coasts and inland water: sea level, coastal classification, flood depth, water resources. |
| `disaster` | Disasters and hazards: event imagery, hazard maps, wildfire risk, geohazard monitoring. |
| `agriculture` | Agriculture and forestry: field boundaries, crop type, forest inventory, commodity infrastructure. |
| `urban` | Urban and infrastructure: housing, zoning, transit, energy planning. |
| `population` | Population and humanitarian: population grids, settlements, nighttime lights, humanitarian indicators. |
| `ecology` | Ecology and biodiversity: habitats, conservation, ecosystem properties. |
| `planetary` | Planetary science: anything not about Earth. |
| `ml-training` | Labeled data published for training machine-learning models. |
| `reference` | Reference and sample catalogs: spec examples, workshop material, evaluation samples. |
| `multi-domain` | An archive spanning many of the above (Planetary Computer, NASA CMR, national data cubes). |

### Region (`regions`, zero or more)

`global`, `africa`, `antarctica`, `arctic`, `asia`, `europe`,
`north-america`, `oceania`, `south-america`, `beyond-earth`. Continents,
not countries, by decision: a hundred records are manageable by hand at
this grain and the chip row stays short. `global` is for catalogs whose
coverage is worldwide or spans several continents; a national catalog gets
its continent.

### Publisher (`publisher`, exactly one)

| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `space-agency` | NASA, ESA, CNES, DLR, INPE, Roscosmos and their direct programs. |
| `government` | National, regional or municipal agencies other than space agencies. |
| `intergovernmental` | UN bodies, the EU and its Joint Research Centre, the World Bank, pan-continental programs. |
| `research` | Universities, research institutes, research infrastructures. |
| `commercial` | Companies, including their open-data programs. |
| `community` | Foundations, non-profits, open-source and volunteer projects. |

Where the catalog and the data come from different organizations (a
community mirror of government data), the value describes whoever runs
the catalog you open.
