This example demonstrates how to enumerate all downloadable data layers and their available output formats from an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS). Using the `@camptocamp/ogc-client` JavaScript library for the WFS endpoint, it retrieves the service metadata, layer types, and output formats, then constructs a complete GetFeature URL for every layer-format combination. The code also shows a Python equivalent using `OWSLib` to achieve the same enumeration, highlighting the interoperability of the two approaches. The visualization likely presents these generated URLs as a list or table, connecting users directly to data downloads.

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.

Leaflet WFS

This example shows a map of water areas rendered as a blue outline over an OpenStreetMap tile layer, with the view centered on coordinates near Cambridge, Ontario. It uses the Leaflet mapping library with the Leaflet-WFST plugin to load features from a GeoServer Web Feature Service endpoint, specifically the `osm:water_areas` layer. The code employs a bounding-box filter defined by the current map extent and sets the coordinate reference system to EPSG:3857 using proj4leaflet and proj4js. The visible style is a simple blue color with a weight of two pixels for the geographic features.

Consommation CSW Observatoire des territoires

This visualization catalogs the datasets available from the French government’s Observatoire des Territoires geospatial service. It displays a table of metadata—titles like “ZRR - Zone de revitalisation rurale” and “QPV - Quartiers prioritaires”—paired with their identifiers and direct URLs. Built with a Python script using the OWSLib library’s `CatalogueServiceWeb`, it queries the CSW endpoint, paginates through records, and exports the results to a CSV. The output is then presented in a Vue.js interface, showing the structured list of available territorial indicators.

ol-ext: WMS Capabilities control

This example demonstrates the ol-ext WMSCapabilities control, which loads WMS layers onto an OpenLayers map. It shows a dialog for selecting a service and displaying available layers via the GetCapabilities request. The code uses the ol.control.WMSCapabilities API, OpenLayers map, and a Grid.js table for layer metadata. Users can search services like BRGM and Sandre, with the layer definition output to the console. The map view uses EPSG:2154 projection, and a LayerSwitcher and SearchNominatim control are also included.

Gist 2bd25e856943977444bac9a5fd8c6408

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.

Get IGN legends for WMS Raster, WMS Vecteur and WMTS webservices

This example visualizes the availability of legends for IGN web services, specifically WMS Raster, WMS Vecteur, and WMTS layers. It shows that 241 out of 598 services have retrievable legend images, while 357 do not. The code downloads a CSV of service metadata from the IGN geoportal, then probes a guessed URL pattern on the geoportail.gouv.fr domain for each layer's legend image using `curl`. Successful results are compiled into an augmented CSV and JSON file, with the legend images stored locally.

Parse WFS response in R

This example demonstrates how to inspect a WFS service’s capabilities and identify its supported output formats and available feature types, along with the server’s maximum result limit. The R script uses the `XML` package to parse the `GetCapabilities` response from the Dutch national georegister’s CBS boundary service, applying XPath queries to extract `ows:Value` texts and `wfs:Name` entries. It also reads the `CountDefault` constraint to determine the per-request cap. The output shows the parsed metadata as character and integer vectors, revealing the service’s configuration without fetching any actual geographic data.

Gist 80f99a186a44e6fa1930f2a08618d498

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.
