What it is and what it does
pystac-ext-storage is a PySTAC extension package that adds standardized cloud storage metadata fields to STAC (Spatiotemporal Asset Catalog) items and assets. It implements the Storage Extension specification, allowing you to annotate assets with platform (e.g., S3, GCS, Azure), region, storage tier, and requester-pays configuration. The package supports both v2.0.0 and v1.0.0 of the Storage Extension schema.
You use it by importing the Storage class, attaching it to PySTAC items, and setting storage-related attributes. It depends only on pystac-core and is actively maintained with support for Python 3.10 through 3.13. The package version tracks the extension specification version it targets, with post-releases for code updates that don't change the spec version.
Use it for
- Annotate geospatial imagery catalogs with the cloud storage platform and region where assets are hosted.
- Mark assets stored in requester-pays buckets so downstream tools know to handle billing correctly.
- Document storage tier (hot, cold, archive) for assets to inform retrieval cost and latency decisions.
- Build STAC catalogs that expose storage infrastructure details for multi-cloud or hybrid deployments.
- Standardize storage metadata across teams using the STAC Storage Extension specification.
