• GET?f=jsonDirectory: version, folders and services (name + type).
• GET/{map}?f=jsonServices in one folder.
• GET/{dienst}/MapServer?f=jsonService: layers and tables (id, name, group layer or not), maxRecordCount, capabilities, projection, description.
• GET/{dienst}/MapServer/{laag}?f=jsonLayer: fields (name, type, alias, length), geometry type, maxRecordCount, supportedQueryFormats and advancedQueryCapabilities (pagination, statistics, orderBy, distinct).
• GET/{dienst}/MapServer/{laag}/queryQuery features with a where clause or spatial filter; also count (returnCountOnly) and group (outStatistics). Response in JSON, GeoJSON or PBF.
• GET/{dienst}/MapServer/legend?f=jsonLegend per layer: labels and symbols (PNG as base64).
• GET/{dienst}/MapServer/export?bbox=…&bboxSR=4326&size=600,400&format=png&f=imageMap image as PNG for a rectangle; with f=json you get a link to the image. Without bbox: error 'bbox must be specified'.
• GEThttps://geoservices.provincie-utrecht.nl/arcgis/services/{dienst}/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMSWMS 1.3.0 of the same MapServer: path without /rest/ and with /WMSServer. Only for services whose supportedExtensions lists WMSServer.
• GEThttps://geoservices.provincie-utrecht.nl/arcgis/services/WFS_IKN/MapServer/WFSServer?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilitiesWFS 2.0 of the same MapServer (only if supportedExtensions lists WFSServer); GetFeature with outputFormat=GEOJSON.

Filtering platform

SQL-like where clause on the layer's fields, plus an optional spatial filter (geometry). Group and count with outStatistics.

Parameters 13

Fields of the example layer 10 · tercera_ro/MapServer/6 (8.206 objecten)

Limits and pitfalls

• At most 1.000 features per response (the layer's maxRecordCount; varies per layer, see /{layer}?f=json). If there are more, the response has exceededTransferLimit: true: fetch the rest with resultOffset and resultRecordCount. tested
• No key and no documented rate limit. Take it easy (a few requests per second) and prefer statistics or counts over fetching all features. experience
• The review and review_medewerkers folders list services, but those services return HTTP 502 (Azure Application Gateway). Only the root and arcgis_online are usable; medewerkers is not public. tested
• WFS_IKN has a WFSServer extension with the 9 IKN layers (green contour, NNN, quiet areas …); the other services WMS only. tested
• Errors come back with HTTP 200 and a JSON object {"error": {"code": 400, …}} ('Failed to execute query.' for an unknown field in where). Always check for an error field, not just the status code. tested
• Tygron_* are working files for a calculation model and SampleWorldCities is an Esri sample; both are public but not a provincial publication. tercera_ro/10 (CHAT archaeology, points) has 0 features. experience
• The server gives no modification date per service or layer (no editingInfo). How current a layer is, is not stated. tested
• Group layers (with subLayerIds) have no query; query the leaf layers below them. Raster layers have no fields and no count. platform
