49 Comma separated names of data layers to download
50
51 srs=string
52 Specify alternate spatial reference system (example: EPSG:4326)
53 The given code must be supported by the server, consult the capa‐
54 bilities file
55
56 maximum_features=integer
57 Maximum number of features to download
58 (default: unlimited)
59
60 start_index=integer
61 Skip earlier feature IDs and start downloading at this one
62 (default: start with the first feature)

65 v.in.wfs imports OGC WFS maps (Web Feature Service) from external
66 servers.

69 Import of world cities with population > 1 million:

71 # run in Latitude-Longitude location (EPGS code 4326):
72 # download geonam_gt1M layer:
73 v.in.wfs \
74 url="http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ms?Service=WFS&request=GetFeature&version=1.0.0" \
75 name=geonam_gt1M output=geonam_gt1M

77 Download 25 ship wrecks from LINZ data service:
78 (first create yourself a free API key at
79 http://data.linz.govt.nz/p/web-services/)
80
81 # run in LatLong location:
82 URL=’http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<PUT YOUR API KEY HERE>/wfs?’
83 # download available layers to wms_capabilities.xml
84 v.in.wfs -l url="$URL"
85 From that file we learn that the shipwreck layer is called "v:x633" and
86 that EPSG code 4326 (LatLong WGS84) is a supported SRS for this data
87 layer.
88 v.in.wfs url="$URL" output=linz_hydro_25_wrecks name="v:x633" srs="EPSG:4326" max=25
