Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license. Install it if you are working with PySTAC and need to describe gridded data products or integrate grid metadata into STAC catalogs.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; pystac-core must be installed as a runtime dependency.
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (pystac-core).
- Active maintenance with a recent release (4 days old) and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
pystac-ext-grid is a PySTAC extension package that adds support for the Grid Extension specification to the PySTAC library. It allows you to describe and catalog gridded data products—such as satellite imagery organized under MGRS, MODIS, or other tiling schemes—by attaching standardized grid metadata to STAC items and collections. The package targets the Grid Extension specification versions 1.1.0 and 1.0.0.
You use it when you need to document which grid system your raster or imagery data follows, making it discoverable and interpretable within a STAC catalog. It depends only on pystac-core and installs with minimal friction. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.13, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Catalog satellite imagery organized under MGRS grid codes within a STAC collection.
- Document MODIS-tiled data products with standardized grid metadata.
- Add grid specifications to existing PySTAC items to enable grid-aware discovery.
- Build searchable geospatial data catalogs that expose grid tiling information.
- Integrate gridded raster data into STAC workflows with proper grid provenance.
