# SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) Validator
## Documentation
[read the docs](https://stac-validator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
## Validate STAC json files against the [STAC spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec).
```bash
stac-validator https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/master/examples/extended-item.json
[
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"path": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/master/examples/extended-item.json",
"schema": [
"https://stac-extensions.github.io/eo/v1.0.0/schema.json",

],
"valid_stac": true,
"asset_type": "ITEM",
"validation_method": "default"
}
]
```
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Requests
- Click
- Jsonschema
Note: Stac-validator is also used in stac-check which adds linting messages based on the official STAC best practices document.

# CLI
**Basic Usage**
```bash
stac-validator --help
Usage: stac-validator [OPTIONS] STAC_FILE
Options:
--core Validate core stac object only without extensions.
--extensions Validate extensions only.
--links Additionally validate links. Only works with
default mode.
--assets Additionally validate assets. Only works with
default mode.
-c, --custom TEXT Validate against a custom schema (local filepath or
remote schema).
-r, --recursive Recursively validate all related stac objects.
-m, --max-depth INTEGER Maximum depth to traverse when recursing. Omit this
argument to get full recursion. Ignored if
`recursive == False`.
--collections Validate /collections response.
--item-collection Validate item collection response. Can be combined
with --pages. Defaults to one page.
-p, --pages INTEGER Maximum number of pages to validate via --item-
collection. Defaults to one page.
-v, --verbose Enables verbose output for recursive mode.
--no_output Do not print output to console.
--log_file TEXT Save full recursive output to log file (local
filepath).
--version Show the version and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.
```
