# landing page

`GET /`

Returns the root STAC Catalog or STAC Collection that is the entry point
for users to browse with STAC Browser or for search engines to crawl.
This can either return a single STAC Collection or more commonly a STAC
catalog.

The landing page provides links to the
API definition (link relations `service-desc` and `service-doc`)
and the STAC records such as collections/catalogs (link relation `child`)
or items (link relation `item`).

Extensions may add additional links with new relation types.

## Response `200`

(link relations `service-desc` and `service-doc`).
