Duration of PgSTAC mosaic search ID

[ebkurtz]

When I register a search with the PgSTAC mosaic /api/data/v1/mosaic/register does the search ID ever expire? I would like to use the XYZ tile endpoint and want to know if I will have to periodically regenerate it with a new search ID.

Hi @ebkurtz -- while the search IDs are not guaranteed to persist, they should be considered stable and you won't need to periodically regenerate them. They are deterministically created based on the register content, so the exact same query should produce the same hash in the event that we would need to flush them from the system (i.e., client code wouldn't need to update to a new search ID).

Thanks for the speedy answer, this is helpful.
