Package 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

# 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', sld_version='1.0.0')

# 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')
