Sentinel and Landsat imagery catalogue from Element 84’s Earth Search over the AWS Open Data registry — search Sentinel-1/2, Landsat Collection 2, NAIP and Copernicus DEM by area and date and get item ids, footprints, cloud cover and cloud-optimised GeoTIFF URLs.

Tools

• earth_search_collections(contains?, prefix?, limit?) — the missions indexed, with licence, extent and date range.
• earth_search_collection(collection_id) — one collection in full, including the asset keys (bands, thumbnails) its items carry.
• earth_search_search(collections?, bbox?, datetime?, ids?, limit?, max_assets?) — which scenes cover an area on given dates. collections is optional here, unlike the sibling catalogues.

Auth

Keyless, metadata and assets. Hrefs resolve on AWS Open Data with no token and no account — this is the catalogue to send a caller to when they need bytes rather than metadata. Some buckets are requester-pays when read over s3:// rather than https://.

Data sources

• https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1 — STAC API 1.0.

Shared client: shared/src/stac.ts, also used by planetary-computer, copernicus-dataspace and meteoswiss.

Traps

• This is the one catalogue in the set that allows a catalogue-wide search. Planetary Computer (422) and the Copernicus Data Space (400) both refuse a search with no collections. Useful for “is there ANY imagery here” — but the result then spans missions with very different resolutions, so read collection on each item before comparing them.
• Collection ids are not portable. Sentinel-2 L2A is sentinel-2-c1-l2a here (Collection 1 reprocessing) and sentinel-2-pre-c1-l2a for the older baseline, while the same mission is sentinel-2-l2a on Planetary Computer and on the Copernicus Data Space. The wrong id returns an empty result, not an error.
