WFS & WMS (external applications)

External mapping tools & applications can access data via standard interfaces from Open Spatial Consortium.

• WFS (Web Feature Service)
• WMS (Web Map Service)

Each application needs to be configured differently. All applications need to configure the endpoint and the API key.

 

Information needed (from administrator)

---

 

API endpoint

---

Each project in GRIdit has its own endpoint. Your project/organization administrator can provide it and it has this format

Protocol	Endpoint
WFS	example: https://api.gridit.nl/api/projects/4928f988-8711-4371-b61b-af6b1834c406/WFS
WMS	example:  https://api.gridit.nl/api/projects/4928f988-8711-4371-b61b-af6b1834c406/WMS

 

API key (for security)

---

Each user has an API key that can be provided by the project/organization administrator. The API key grants the same access rights as the user.

The API key must be provided as part of the http attributes

Attribute	Value
X-API-Key	API Key (eg: 8c898c89-8c89-8c89-8c89-8c898c898c89)

let url = 'https://api.gridit.web/api/projects/B1C9AE8D-15ED-454C-A91D-CA48C310CE74/WFS?service=wfs&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature& typeNames=namespace:featuretype';
const response = await fetch( url, {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "X-API-Key": "8c898c89-8c89-8c89-8c89-8c898c898c89",
  },
});
