DESCRIPTION

74       v.in.wfs imports OGC WFS  maps  (Web  Feature  Service)  from  external
75       servers.
76

EXAMPLES

78   WFS import without credentials
79       Import of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite scene footprints:
80
81       # run in Latitude-Longitude location (EPGS code 4326):
82       # download "sentinel:mgrs" layer:
83       v.in.wfs url="https://geoserver.mundialis.de/geoserver/sentinel/wfs?" name="sentinel:mgrs" output=sentinel2_mgrs
84
85   WFS import with API key
86       Download 25 ship wrecks from LINZ data service:
87       (first      create      yourself      a     free     API     key     at
88       http://data.linz.govt.nz/p/web-services/)
89
90       # run in LatLong location:
91       URL=’http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<PUT YOUR API KEY HERE>/wfs?’
92       # download list of available layers to wms_capabilities.xml
93       v.in.wfs -l url="$URL"
94       From that file we learn that the shipwreck layer is called "v:x633" and
95       that  EPSG  code  4326 (LatLong WGS84) is a supported SRS for this data
96       layer.
97       v.in.wfs url="$URL" output=linz_hydro_25_wrecks name="v:x633" srs="EPSG:4326" max=25

REQUIREMENTS

100       The OGR library on the system needs to be compiled with Xerces C++  XML
101       Parser support (for GML).
