Get the geodata catalog of the Swiss Confederation

Source: R/bfs_get_catalog_geodata.R
bfs_get_catalog_geodata.Rd

List the geodata collections of the STAC API of the Swiss geo-portal (https://data.geo.admin.ch/), from the BFS and other federal offices. Download a collection with bfs_download_geodata().

Usage

bfs_get_catalog_geodata(include_metadata = TRUE)

Arguments

include_metadata

If TRUE (default), add the metadata of each collection (title, description, dates, license, ...). This sends one request per collection (several hundred), so it takes a few minutes: save the result rather than calling it often. If FALSE, return only the collection ids and URLs.

Value

A tibble with one row per collection: collection_id, type and href, and with include_metadata = TRUE, title, description, created, updated, crs, license, provider_name, bbox and inverval. Returns NULL if there is no internet connection.

# the collections of the BFS
catalog_geodata[grepl("^ch.bfs", catalog_geodata$collection_id), ]
