"ConformanceError: API does not conform"

[Holmes2020]

Hi,

I am new to EO data and have started following your 'Cloudless Mosaic' tutorial to familiarise myself with accessing satellite data through the api. I have pip installed the pystac_client, however when I run the following command:

stac = pystac_client.Client.open("https://planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/api/stac/v1")

I receive the error:

ConformanceError: API does not conform to {ConformanceClasses.STAC_API_CORE}. Must contain one of the following URIs to conform (preferably the first):
https://api.stacspec.org/v1.0.0-beta.1/core
http://stacspec.org/spec/api/1.0.0-beta.1/core.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ben

Hi Ben,

Sorry about the disruption. As noted in our changelog our catalog is now STAC 1.0, but the fully-released pystac and pystac-client aren't yet compatible with that. Both those libraries have release candidates available, which you can install with

$ pip install --pre --upgrade pystac pystac-client

or you can use the docker images we use in our hub (which include those versions)

$ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/planetary-computer/python
