pygeoapi is an OGC Reference Implementation supporting numerous OGC API specifications. This workshop will cover publishing geospatial data to the Web using pygeoapi in support of the suite of OGC API standards.


pygeoapi is an OGC Reference Implementation supporting numerous OGC API specifications. Lightweight, easy to deploy and cloud-ready, pygeoapi's architecture facilitates publishing datasets and processes from multiple data sources to the Web. This tutorial will cover publishing geospatial data to the Web, and using the API from QGIS, OWSLib and a web browser. The workshop will cover the following OGC API standards:

  • OGC API - Features (OAFeat)
  • OGC API - Coverages (OACov)
  • OGC API - Tiles (OATiles)
  • OGC API - Processes (OAProc)
  • OGC API - Records (OARec)
  • OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval
  • SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)

Tom Kralidis is with the Meteorological Service of Canada and longtime contributor to FOSS4G. He contributes to numerous projects in the Geopython ecosystem.

Tom is the co-chair of the OGC API - Records Standards Working Group, chair of the WMO Expert Team on Metadata, and serves on the OSGeo Board.
