Run with custom catalog.json and collections.json

[iliion]

Dear all,
i have a simple question.
It is not clear to me how to add my own catalog.json and collections.json files.

Could someone give me a hint?

By catalog.json, I assume you mean the landing page? If so, you can customize title, description, etc when you create your API (e.g. here's how it's done on the Planetary Computer: https://github.com/microsoft/planetary-computer-apis/blob/26a67e1266c7fc1ba190bdc5406cbfa2f6855edc/pcstac/pcstac/main.py#L57-L74). If you need additional customization, you can override the landing_page method on your client:

stac-fastapi/stac_fastapi/types/stac_fastapi/types/core.py

Line 540 in 3db04da

async def landing_page(self, **kwargs) -> stac_types.LandingPage:

As for adding your own Collections, you can use the API itself to load collections and itmes; check out this script in the repo for an example: https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/blob/master/scripts/ingest_joplin.py. If you're using pgstac, you could also use the pypgstac loader: https://github.com/stac-utils/pgstac/blob/main/docs/src/pypgstac.md#bulk-data-loading.
