Python wrapper for GeoServer REST API
Full documentation
The documentation for this project is moved here: https://geoserver-rest.readthedocs.io/.
Overview
The geoserver-rest
package is useful for the management of geospatial data in GeoServer. The package is useful for the creating, updating and deleting geoserver workspaces, stores, layers, and style files.
Installation
conda install -c conda-forge geoserver-rest
For the pip
installation, check the official documentation of geoserver-rest
Some examples
Please check the https://geoserver-rest.readthedocs.io/ for full documentation.
# Import the library
from geo.Geoserver import Geoserver
# Initialize the library
geo = Geoserver('http://127.0.0.1:8080/geoserver', username='admin', password='geoserver')
# For creating workspace
geo.create_workspace(workspace='demo')
# For uploading raster data to the geoserver
geo.create_coveragestore(layer_name='layer1', path=r'path\to\raster\file.tif', workspace='demo')
# For creating postGIS connection and publish postGIS table
geo.create_featurestore(store_name='geo_data', workspace='demo', db='postgres', host='localhost', pg_user='postgres',
pg_password='admin')
geo.publish_featurestore(workspace='demo', store_name='geo_data', pg_table='geodata_table_name')
# For uploading SLD file and connect it with layer
geo.upload_style(path=r'path\to\sld\file.sld', workspace='demo')
geo.publish_style(layer_name='geoserver_layer_name', style_name='sld_file_name', workspace='demo')
# For creating the style file for raster data dynamically and connect it with layer
geo.create_coveragestyle(raster_path=r'path\to\raster\file.tiff', style_name='style_1', workspace='demo',
color_ramp='RdYiGn')
geo.publish_style(layer_name='geoserver_layer_name', style_name='raster_file_name', workspace='demo')
# delete workspace
geo.delete_workspace(workspace='demo')
# delete layer
geo.delete_layer(layer_name='agri_final_proj', workspace='demo')
# delete style file
geo.delete_style(style_name='kamal2', workspace='demo')
