STAC and Jsonnet

SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC) is a standard for describing spatial datasets in a catalog.

Earth Engine uses STAC Jsonnet templates to generate the Earth Engine Public Data Catalog and the STAC JSON catalog. Using Jsonnet allows repetitive content to be written one time and used across multiple collections and items.

You can use these external services to browse the EE STAC catalog:

• RadiantEarth STAC Browser
• STAC Index
• gee.stac.cloud

Local Install Instructions

If you'd like to run validity checks locally (not via GitHub actions), see the local installation instructions. Most people won't need this.

Non-commercial datasets

non_commercial_datasets.jsonnet contains a list of datasets that have licenses known to exclude commercial use. If you are using Earth Engine in a commercial capacity, these datasets are not available.
