# New Zealand Imagery
[](https://radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/#/external/nz-imagery.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json)
[](https://registry.opendata.aws/nz-imagery/)
Toitū Te Whenua makes New Zealand's most up-to-date publicly owned aerial imagery freely available to use under an open licence. You can access this through the [LINZ Data Service](https://data.linz.govt.nz/data/category/aerial-photos/?s=n), [LINZ Basemaps](https://basemaps.linz.govt.nz/#@-41.8899962,174.0492437,z5) or the [Registry of Open Data on AWS](https://registry.opendata.aws/nz-imagery/).
## Quickstart
Browse the archive with [STAC Browser](https://radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/#/external/nz-imagery.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json) or access the catalog directly [https://nz-imagery.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json](https://nz-imagery.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json)
## Background
This repository contains STAC Collection metadata for each imagery dataset, as well as some guidance documentation:
- [Naming](docs/naming.md) covers the `s3://nz-imagery` bucket naming structure
- [Tools](docs/tools.md) covers some of the STAC ecosystem tools that can be used to interact with our STAC Catalog
- [Usage](docs/usage.md) shows how TIFFs can be interacted with from S3 using GDAL, QGIS, etc
### AWS Access
Toitū Te Whenua owns and maintains a public bucket which is sponsored and shared via the [Registry of Open Data on AWS](https://registry.opendata.aws/nz-imagery/) `s3://nz-imagery` in `ap-southeast-2`.
Using the [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) anyone can access all of the imagery specified in this repository.
```
aws s3 ls --no-sign-request s3://nz-imagery/
