README
FastAPI implemention of the STAC API spec.
---
**Documentation**: [https://stac-utils.github.io/stac-fastapi/](https://stac-utils.github.io/stac-fastapi/)
**Source Code**: [https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi)
---
Python library for building a STAC compliant FastAPI application. The project is split up into several namespace
packages:
| Package | Description | Version
| ------- |------------- | -------
[**stac_fastapi.api**](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/tree/main/stac_fastapi/api) | An API layer which enforces the [stac-api-spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec). | [](https://pypi.org/project/stac-fastapi.api)
[**stac_fastapi.extensions**](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/tree/main/stac_fastapi/extensions) | Abstract base classes for [STAC API extensions](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec/blob/master/extensions.md) and third-party extensions. | [](https://pypi.org/project/stac-fastapi.extensions)
[**stac_fastapi.types**](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/tree/main/stac_fastapi/types) | Shared types and abstract base classes used by the library. | [](https://pypi.org/project/stac-fastapi.types)
#### Backends
Backends are hosted in their own repositories:
- [stac-fastapi-pgstac](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-pgstac): Postgres backend implementation with [PgSTAC](https://github.com/stac-utils/pgstac).
- [stac-fastapi-elasticsearch](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch): Backend implementation with [Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch).
- [stac-fastapi-sqlalchemy](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-sqlalchemy): Postgres backend implementation with [sqlalchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/).
`stac-fastapi` was initially developed by [arturo-ai](https://github.com/arturo-ai).
## Response Model Validation
A common question when using this package is how request and response types are validated?
This package uses [`stac-pydantic`](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-pydantic) to validate and document STAC objects. However, by default, validation of response types is turned off and the API will simply forward responses without validating them against the Pydantic model first. This decision was made with the assumption that responses usually come from a (typed) database and can be considered safe. Extra validation would only increase latency, in particular for large payloads.
To turn on response validation, set `ENABLE_RESPONSE_MODELS` to `True`. Either as an environment variable or directly in the `ApiSettings`.
With the introduction of Pydantic 2, the extra [time it takes to validate models became negatable](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/pull/625#issuecomment-2045824578). While `ENABLE_RESPONSE_MODELS` still defaults to `False` there should be no penalty for users to turn on this feature but users discretion is advised.
## Installation
```bash
# Install from PyPI
python -m pip install stac-fastapi.types stac-fastapi.api stac-fastapi.extensions
# Install a backend of your choice
python -m pip install stac-fastapi.sqlalchemy
# or
python -m pip install stac-fastapi.pgstac
```
Other backends may be available from other sources, search [PyPI](https://pypi.org/) for more.
## Development
Install the packages in editable mode:
```shell
python -m pip install -e \
'stac_fastapi/types[dev]' \
'stac_fastapi/api[dev]' \
'stac_fastapi/extensions[dev]'
```
To run the tests:
