Other OGC APIs

These APIs provide access to geospatial data and services through the Geoserver via the APISIX endpoint /geoserver. Each API corresponds to a different OGC standard, such as WMS, WFS, WMTS, and more, and enables a variety of geospatial operations including map rendering, feature querying, and raster data access.

Getting started​

To utilize an API via APISIX, you need an account registered on our Keycloak IDM, and an administrator needs to grant you access to a workspace.

For accessing the API with valid credentials, please see How to Get an Access Token.

Data spaces​

These APIs facilitates a generic approach to tenancy through the division of data into so-called dataspaces. These dataspaces are represented as Geoserver workspaces and can only be accessed if your Keycloak-user is a member of the related group and you have been granted a role to read data in this dataspace.

Addtional Documentation​

The official website provides multiple guides, best practices, and maintains git repositories with use cases and data models.
