[](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT)
Command Line Interface (CLI) for [STAC](https://stacspec.org/), named `rustac`.
## Installation
```sh
cargo install rustac -F duckdb # to use libduckdb on your system
# or
cargo install rustac -F duckdb-bundled # to build libduckdb on install (slow)
```
Then:
```shell
# Search
$ rustac search https://landsatlook.usgs.gov/stac-server \
--collections landsat-c2l2-sr \
--intersects '{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [-105.119, 40.173]}' \
--sortby='-properties.datetime' \
--max-items 1000 \
items.parquet
# Translate formats
$ rustac translate items.parquet items.ndjson
$ rustac translate items.ndjson items.json
# Migrate STAC versions
$ rustac translate item-v1.0.json item-v1.1.json --migrate
# Search stac-geoparquet (no API server required)
$ stac search items.parquet
# Server
$ rustac serve items.parquet # Opens a STAC API server on http://localhost:7822
# Validate
$ rustac validate item.json
```
## Usage
**rustac** provides the following subcommands:
- `rustac search`: searches STAC APIs and, if the `duckdb` feature is enabled, geoparquet files
- `rustac serve`: serves a STAC API
- `rustac translate`: converts STAC from one format to another
- `rustac validate`: validates a STAC value
Use the `--help` flag to see all available options for the CLI and the subcommands:
## Features
This crate has three features:
- `pgstac`: enable a [pgstac](https://github.com/stac-utils/pgstac) backend for `rustac serve`
- `duckdb`: build with DuckDB support, which enables searching [stac-geoparquet](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-geoparquet) (requires DuckDB to be present on your system)
- `duckdb-bundled`: bundle DuckDB by building it from source, instead of using a local installation (does _not_ require DuckDB to be present on your system)
> [!TIP]
> If you're using the `duckdb` feature, set `DUCKDB_LIB_DIR` to the directory containing your **libduckdb**. If you're on macos and using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), this might be `export DUCKDB_LIB_DIR=/opt/homebrew/lib`
