Every OGC standard.
One conformant platform.
WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS, OGC API Features, OGC API Processes, STAC, and SensorThings — conformance-tested, high-performance endpoints that work with any compliant GIS client out of the box.

Eight standards. Zero compromises.
Each endpoint passes the OGC CITE compliance test suite on every release, so your integrations stay stable as the platform evolves.
WMS 1.3.0
Map image rendering
Serve dynamically rendered map images over HTTP. Supports GetCapabilities, GetMap, and GetFeatureInfo requests. All layer styles are configurable via SLD and QGIS-native rendering.
WMTS 1.0.0
Cached tile pyramid
Pre-rendered tile cache for high-throughput map delivery. TileMatrixSets for WebMercator (EPSG:3857) and GDA2020 out of the box, with custom grid support for any EPSG.
WFS 2.0
Feature access and transactional editing
Read and write vector features using the standardised Web Feature Service protocol. Outputs GeoJSON, GML 3.2, and CSV. Transactional WFS-T enables insert, update, and delete operations.
WCS 2.1
Raster / coverage download
Retrieve full-resolution raster coverages in GeoTIFF, Cloud-Optimised GeoTIFF, NetCDF, and HDF5. Supports subsetting by bounding box, time range, and band selection.
OGC API Features
JSON-native successor to WFS
RESTful feature access with an auto-generated OpenAPI 3.1 specification. Native JSON / GeoJSON responses, CQL2 filter support, and pagination via link headers.
OGC API Processes
Geoprocessing as a service
Execute spatial workflows — buffer, overlay, rasterisation, interpolation — via a standardised REST interface. Async job submission returns a status URL; results are delivered to S3 or SFTP.
STAC API 1.0
Spatio-temporal asset catalogue for Earth Observation scenes
Discover, search, and download satellite imagery and derived raster products using the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog standard. Supports STAC Search, Item endpoints, and Collection management.
OGC SensorThings
IoT sensor streaming
Connect field sensors, weather stations, and IoT devices to a standards-based API. Real-time observations streamed over MQTT and served as JSON-LD. Compatible with INSPIRE and smart-city platforms.
Standard URLs. Instant results.
Paste any of these into your GIS client or call them directly from the command line — no SDK required.
