This user interface(UI) allows you to make a connection to a STAC API, search for assets, and leverage them directly in ArcGIS Pro. One of the key elements when setting up the connection to a STAC API is the inclusion of ArcGIS Cloud Storage (ACS) connection files. When the datasets discovered through a STAC API are secured in their storage location, these ACS files are needed to allow ArcGIS Pro to access the datasets. Some STAC APIs (or collections referenced within them) present datasets that are stored in publicly accessible storage. These do not require ACS files to use the data in ArcGIS Pro. One example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/earth-search.aws.element84.com\/v1\">Earth Search STAC API of AWS Public Datasets<\/a>, specifically the Sentinel-2 L2A collection.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>Creating ACS files may require certain set parameters. <span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">These parameters depend on the type of datastore where the data reside<\/span>. For example, the Microsoft Planetary Computer (MPC) STAC requires Azure Storage Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens.
