Help with Search, returned items not filtered

[nikkopante]

Hello I made a STAC API backend built with STAC standards, but is still limited. However some filters work such as bbox and 'datetime' you can check it on:
https://api.ops.dev.phl-microsat.upd.edu.ph/stac_management/stac/search?bbox=115.378418,5.375398,127.199707,19.352611

However when I use the library, it does not do any filtering. What could be the problem?

from satsearch import Search

URL='https://api.ops.dev.phl-microsat.upd.edu.ph/stac_management/stac'
results = Search.search(
    url=URL,
    collections=['diwata-2-smi'],
    bbox=[115.378418, 5.375398, 127.199707, 19.352611],
    #datetime='2021-01-01T00:00:00Z/2021-04-07T14:00:00Z'
)

items = results.items()
len(items) 

The result will be 12, or in this case it's my whole dataset. It does not filter unlike the search from the URL in the above example. Even with just bbox alone.

I think my issue is connected with using the requests. https://github.com/sat-utils/sat-search/blob/master/satsearch/search.py#L76

Why is it that json argument was used instead of params?

[matthewhanson]

@cnpante12 The json argument is used to supply the payload for POST requests, params is used for GET requests.

Also note that there is a replacement for sat-search, called pystac-client:
https://github.com/stac-utils/pystac-client

sat-search is no longer under active development.

Hi @matthewhanson, maybe that information should go on the homepage. I don't like the prospect of working with unmaintained dependencies, so I guess I should migrate to pystac-client.
