Table extension for PySTAC
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building or working with STAC catalogs that include tabular data. The package is stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and adds the minimal overhead needed to comply with the Table Extension specification. Install it only if you actually need to describe table assets; it is not useful in isolation from pystac-core.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later and pystac-core as a runtime dependency.
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (pystac-core).
- Actively maintained with a release 4 days old and recent commits; supports Python 3.10–3.13.

What it is and what it does
pystac-ext-table is a PySTAC extension package that adds support for the STAC Table Extension specification (v1.2.0). It allows you to annotate tabular data assets in a STAC catalog with structured metadata—column names and types, row counts, primary and foreign key definitions, and storage format details. The package is a thin wrapper around the extension schema, designed to integrate seamlessly with pystac-core so you can build and query STAC catalogs that properly describe tabular datasets.
You install it alongside pystac-core and use it to attach table metadata to assets in your catalog items. The package is actively maintained, production-stable, and requires Python 3.10 or later. It has no external system dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel.
Use it for
- Catalog CSV, Parquet, or database exports as STAC items with column and row metadata.
- Build searchable STAC catalogs for tabular geospatial or scientific datasets with schema annotations.
- Describe primary/foreign key relationships in multi-table datasets within a STAC catalog.
- Standardize table metadata across a data repository using the STAC Table Extension spec.
