Approach

  1. Use pystac_client to open the STAC catalog
  2. Iterate over collections and print the title of each collection

Open STAC catalog

from pystac_client import Client

STAC_API_URL = "https://openveda.cloud/api/stac/"
catalog = Client.open(STAC_API_URL)

List collections

collections = list(catalog.get_collections())
for collection in sorted(collections, key=lambda x: x.title or x.id):
    print(collection.title or collection.id)
