The Maxar Open Data STAC catalog URL is: https://maxar-opendata.s3.amazonaws.com/events/catalog.json. The repo contains the catalog in various formats, including GeoJSON, CSV, and MosaicJSON. This makes it easier to use the datasets with Python and other programming languages.

Examples

Visualizing image footprints

import leafmap
m = leafmap.Map(center=[36.844461, 37.386475], zoom=8)
url = 'https://github.com/opengeos/maxar-open-data/raw/master/datasets/Kahramanmaras-turkey-earthquake-23.geojson'
m.add_geojson(url, layer_name="Footprints")
m

Visualizing COG mosaic

m = leafmap.Map()
url = 'https://open.gishub.org/maxar-open-data/datasets/Kahramanmaras-turkey-earthquake-23/1050050044DE7E00.json'
m.add_stac_layer(url, name="Mosaic")
m
