Properties

Name	Type	Description
collections	array	Search for STAC items in the specified STAC collections.
ids	array	Search for specific STAC items by their IDs.
datetime	string	Search for data that has a temporal property that intersects the datetime value in the RFC 3339 format. You can search for a specific date and time, or for a closed or an open date interval. Express o
sortby	array	A results sorting method that arranges elements in ascending or descending order based on a chosen field.
limit	integer	The maximum number of data items on a results page.
page	integer	The number of the page to return. To get the first page, set the parameter to `0`.
filter	object	A [CQL2 filter](https://docs.up42.com/developers/api-stac#detailed-search) that consists of arguments (`filter.args`) and operators (`filter.op`).
filter-lang	string	The CQL filter that encodes the value used in `filter`. The only supported value is `cql2-json`.
bbox	array	Search for data that intersects a bounding box in the `[min longitude, min latitude, max longitude, max latitude]` format. Use only if `intersects` isn't specified.
intersects	object	Search for data that intersects the provided geometry. Use only if `bbox` isn't specified.
