It provides a standardized way to describe raster band metadata within PySTAC catalogs and items, including properties like data type, statistics, histograms, spatial resolution, nodata values, and measurement units. This allows geospatial data providers to document raster imagery in a consistent, machine-readable format.\n\nThe package targets versions 1.1.0 and 1.0.0 of the Raster Extension specification. It is typically used by developers building or consuming STAC catalogs that contain raster imagery, enabling them to attach and query detailed band-level metadata. The package version tracks the extension specification version it implements, with post-releases used for code updates that don't change the target specification.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained extension for a widely-used geospatial standard. Install it if you are building or consuming STAC catalogs that include raster imagery and need standardized band metadata. The permissive Apache license, low install friction, and recent maintenance activity make it a safe choice for production use."},"id":"pystac-ext-raster","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-raster","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-raster.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-raster/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-raster","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Raster extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981901,"position":2410,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.1"}
