Data Endpoints — STAC Indexed

STAC APIs and catalogs can be explored interactively in the browser, but they are also easy to query programmatically. For example, you can use pystac-client in Python to open an API and search within a specific collection:

from pystac_client import Client

api_url = "https://search.east.esgf.io"
client = Client.open(api_url)

# 1. Search explicitly for items in this collection
search = client.search(collections=["CORDEX-CMIP6"])

# 2. Check the total count directly from the server
print("Total matched items:", search.matched())

# 3. Fetch all items into a non-empty pystac.ItemCollection / list
item_collection = search.item_collection()
