This example shows a debug log from a GDAL/OGR-based workflow that extracts cadastral parcel features from an INSPIRE WFS server and writes them to a GeoPackage. The log details sequential GDAL API calls, including `GDALOpen`, `GDALDriver::Create`, and repeated HTTP `Fetch` requests, revealing how the WFS driver negotiates capabilities, disables multi-layer definitions, and paginates through `GetFeature` requests. It also demonstrates the internal use of an Expat XML parser for GML reading and a temporary in-memory file (`/vsimem/tempwfs_0x21f0b20/file.gml`) to process the downloaded data. The output shows the explicit `STARTINDEX` and `COUNT` parameters used to fetch batches of up to 10,000 features.

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.

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.

This example demonstrates how to select cadastral parcels from the IGN Cadastre API based on a drawn polygon’s extent. It shows the process of converting a GeoJSON polygon into an encoded URL parameter, then sending a GET request via Bash with `jq` or Python with `urllib.parse` and `urllib.request`. The API returns parcel geometries, which are saved as a GeoJSON file. The code also warns against using overly complex or overly large geometries due to URL length limits and server load.

Load GTFS as GPKG with GDAL 3.7

This example demonstrates converting an IDFM GTFS transit feed into a GeoPackage database using GDAL’s new GTFS driver. The Bash script first checks that GDAL 3.7 is installed, then uses `ogrinfo` with `-json` to list all available layers. For each layer, it runs `ogr2ogr` with the GeoPackage format, appending layers incrementally with the `-update` flag. The source data is loaded directly from a URL via `/vsicurl/`, and the script allows customizing input and output names through environment variables.

Gist dae8e8a76db4fc720fb18d261da4076f

This visualization is a debugging aid for a Stack Exchange question about WKB (Well-Known Binary) structure errors. It renders a dense polygon geometry, likely a complex map boundary, from a hexadecimal WKB string using PostGIS’s `ST_GeomFromWKB` and `ST_AsText` functions. The code uses the Leaflet JavaScript library to display the resulting shape on an interactive slippy map, allowing users to inspect the coordinate sequence and identify where the WKB byte order or size might be malformed. The polygon appears as a single, highly detailed feature, emphasizing the raw geometry over any thematic styling.

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.

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.

OGC WFS consumption URLs from a service

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.
