This example shows a QGIS workflow for automatically populating the application with WMS, WMTS, and WFS service connections from the French IGN geoservices portal. The script scrapes the portal’s documentation page to find a CSV file containing service metadata, parses it using the `csv` module, and deduplicates entries via Python dictionaries. It then defines functions to add or remove connections in QGIS’s settings using `QgsSettings`, configuring parameters like URLs, versions, and axis orientation. The code demonstrates a practical approach to batch-importing OGC web services into a desktop GIS environment.

This example demonstrates a QGIS Processing model that exports spatial data to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. The model chains two algorithms: `qgis:postgisexecuteandloadsql` to run SQL and load the result, followed by `qgis:importintopostgis` to write the output to a table named "out2" in the public schema. It uses the PostgreSQL connection "EPSG demo," sets UTF-8 encoding, and creates a geometry column. The model shows a reusable workflow for automating database ingestion directly from the QGIS Processing framework.

Download data from WFS using GDAL Python bindings

This example shows how to download vector data from a WFS (Web Feature Service) endpoint using GDAL’s Python bindings. It demonstrates bulk download of a full layer, plus filtered extracts by bounding box via the `-spat` option, and outputs to GeoPackage, CSV, and GeoJSON formats. The code explicitly configures WFS paging with `OGR_WFS_PAGING_ALLOWED` and `OGR_WFS_PAGE_SIZE`, and uses `gdal.OpenEx` and `gdal.VectorTranslate` to fetch data from the Géoportail WFS service. A separate call requests GeoJSON output directly through the service’s `outputFormat=json` parameter.

This PyQGIS script exports the column metadata of an active PostgreSQL layer to a CSV file. It shows the structure of every column, including data type, nullability, precision, defaults, and comments from the `information_schema.columns` view. Working within QGIS, it uses `QgsProviderRegistry` to create a PostgreSQL connection, executes the query via `executeSql`, sanitizes null `QVariant` values, and writes the results with Python’s `csv` module. The final CSV file is then added back to the map as a vector layer.

This visualization displays a QGIS project containing world map layers—countries, states, provinces, and disputed borders—from the bundled `world_map.gpkg` GeoPackage, alongside JSON-derived point layers for contributors, hackfests, and user groups. Using the QGIS Python API, the script loads each vector layer via `QgsVectorLayer` with OGR drivers, adds them to the project through `QgsProject.instance().addMapLayers`, and enables a retro canvas style by setting `iface.mapCanvas().setProperty("retro", True)` before refreshing. The example demonstrates procedural map composition from built-in geodata files.

This example demonstrates how to load multiple CSV files containing Chinese-character field names as spatial layers in QGIS. The script uses the PyQGIS API, specifically `QgsVectorLayer` with the `delimitedtext` provider, to parse longitude and latitude columns named 經度 and 緯度. It iterates through all CSV files in a directory using Python’s `glob` and `os` modules, constructs a URI with URL encoding via `urllib.parse.quote`, and adds each resulting point layer to the project with `QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer`. The sample data shows simple occurrence records with coordinates.

Copie données WFS depuis le géoportail de l'urbanisme

This example automates the bulk download of France’s urban planning WFS data from the Géoportail de l’Urbanisme, specifically extracting the GPKG files. It shows how to list available remote directories via `lftp` over SFTP, identify the latest dated export, and mirror the chosen folder with parallel transfers. The workflow uses shell commands with `timeout`, `ssh`, and `lftp` to handle authentication and file retrieval. It relies on public credentials and a documented PDF manual, making the process reproducible for users needing recent, structured land-use datasets.

This example demonstrates how to load and manage LiDAR point cloud layers in QGIS using Python, showing both automatic and manual index generation for LAZ files from the French IGN LIDAR HD dataset. It uses the QgsPointCloudLayer class with the PDAL provider, QgsProject for layer management, and QgsPointCloudDataProvider to check indexing state, generate indexes, and retrieve polygon bounds, point counts, and renderer information. The script also prints coordinate reference system details and renderer type, illustrating direct provider-level access to point cloud metadata.

GDAL VSICURL tests to remote BDTOPO Geopackage France

This example tests GDAL’s VSICURL virtual file system by streaming a remote GeoPackage of French administrative data, specifically focusing on mairie (town hall) geometries. It demonstrates two ogr2ogr commands that query the BDTOPO dataset using SQL joins to extract mairie footprints as multipolygons and their centroids as points, converting them to GeoJSON with EPSG:4326. The visualization shows how both polygon boundaries and point locations are derived from the same remote source, highlighting the ability to perform spatial SQL operations directly on cloud-hosted vector data without local downloads.
