Back in April CDSE has announced that the STAC API is online:
https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/news/2023-4-20-discover-our-new-services
The (somewhat rudimentary) documentation says it has still some limitations but basic search with PySTAC should work:
https://documentation.dataspace.copernicus.eu/APIs/STAC.html
Not sure if this indeed the case at the moment:

Am I missing something?
@andrestumpf I tested on stacbrowser, and it appears to work... So the information is there->https://radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/#/external/datahub.creodias.eu/stac/collections/SENTINEL-2/items/S2A_MSIL1C_20210730T093041_N0500_R136_T35UMU_20230221T014531.SAFE?.asset=asset-QUICKLOOK
@jgomezdans I agree, under the hood it points to datahub.creodias.eu and there are also several collections:
https://datahub.creodias.eu/stac/collections
But could it be that it is not really an API at the moment but rather a static catalog:
https://stacindex.org/catalogs?type=static
Hence not possible to query with pystac_client?
@andrestumpf Yeah, it seems to me that's a big issue with stac... You need a server to query the catalogue. It'd be nice if you could just add your catalogue to some webpage, and that it became automatically searchable... but I'm not aware this exists? #EOChat #RemoteSensing peeps?
Not sure, I feel it's not so much an issue with STAC per se ... I rather got confused because the announcement says there is an API and points to pystac_client.
I also can't find the catalog.json which should at least enable to crawl with pystac... example added here at the end:
