DESCRIPTION
v.in.wfs imports OGC WFS maps (Web Feature Service) from external
servers.
EXAMPLES
WFS import without credentials
Import of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite scene footprints:
# run in Latitude-Longitude location (EPGS code 4326):
# download "sentinel:mgrs" layer:
v.in.wfs url="https://geoserver.mundialis.de/geoserver/sentinel/wfs?" name="sentinel:mgrs" output=sentinel2_mgrs
WFS import with API key
Download 25 ship wrecks from LINZ data service:
(first create yourself a free API key at
http://data.linz.govt.nz/p/web-services/)
# run in LatLong location:
URL=’http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<PUT YOUR API KEY HERE>/wfs?’
# download list of available layers to wms_capabilities.xml
v.in.wfs -l url="$URL"
From that file we learn that the shipwreck layer is called "v:x633" and
that EPSG code 4326 (LatLong WGS84) is a supported SRS for this data
layer.
v.in.wfs url="$URL" output=linz_hydro_25_wrecks name="v:x633" srs="EPSG:4326" max=25
REQUIREMENTS
The OGR library on the system needs to be compiled with Xerces C++ XML
Parser support (for GML).
