StDb is a package containing tools for building a database of station information from geophysical observatories. The code is used through command-line scripts and include several options for querying an online fdsn archive, list the content of an existing station database, merge existing databases, and manually append new station information (e.g., for stations not hosted on any fdsn archive).

The resulting station dictionary is used in various seismic applications, such as SplitPy, RfPy and OBStools.
