The QGIS STAC API Browser currently lacks funding for maintenance, bug fixes and new features; therefore development will be slow for now. However we’re dedicated to maintaining the project. For assistance or if you have funding to contribute please reach out to Kartoza ([email protected])

Installation

During the development phase the plugin is available to install via a dedicated plugin repository https://stac-utils.github.io/qgis-stac-plugin/repository/plugins.xml

Open the QGIS plugin manager, then select the Settings page, click Add button on the Plugin Repositories group box and use the above url to create the new plugin repository.

After adding the new repository, the plugin should be available from the list of all plugins that can be installed.

NOTE: While the development phase is on going the plugin will be flagged as experimental, make sure to enable the QGIS plugin manager in the Settings page to show the experimental plugins in order to be able to install it.

Alternatively the plugin can be installed using Install from ZIP option on the QGIS plugin manager. Download zip file from the required plugin released version https://github.com/stac-utils/qgis-stac-plugin/releases/download/{tagname}/qgis_stac.{version}.zip.

From the Install from ZIP page, select the zip file and click the Install button to install plugin

When the development work is complete the plugin will be available on the QGIS official plugin repository.
