Currently, updating the layer list in GeoManager’s GUI (powered by Wagtail CMS) is a manual process or requires direct database updates, as the CMS does not support API updates or could be an undocumented method.
A bridge program that reads STAC JSON files and updates the database would be helpful for populating the Wagtail variables. Implementing an API that reads STAC JSON files to automatically update the layer list would be ideal.
Additionally, integrating WeatherLayersGL—an open-source tool for GL visualization https://github.com/weatherlayers/weatherlayers-gl —will enhance the GeoMapViewer, which has a demo based on the STAC API as well.
