Short description

The STAC API to interact with Swiss federal geodata

Long description

The STAC API of geo.admin.ch consists of standardized RESTful API endpoints designed for interacting with federal geodata. All datasets are organized according to the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification, which simplifies data discovery and usage. This STAC API implementation conforms to the core STAC API specification. The underlying data model follows the STAC schema and is extended by the forecast extension to support weather forecast data.

Features

  • List geodata organized into collections, items and assets (STAC compatible)
  • Search items by field value or by spatial criteria, e.g., a bounding box
  • Data management of a STAC catalog, like uploading and deleting assets
  • Web UI to browse, preview and manage the STAC catalog
  • Specifications of the API in a website as OpenAPI definition
  • Support of weather forecast data through an extension of the data model
