Class: QgsServerOgcApiHandler

class qgis.server.QgsServerOgcApiHandler

Bases: sip.wrapper

The QgsServerOgcApiHandler abstract class represents a OGC API handler to be registered in QgsServerOgcApi class.

Subclasses must override operational and informative methods and define the core functionality in handleRequest() method.

The following methods MUST be implemented: - path - operationId - summary (shorter text) - description (longer text) - linkTitle - linkType - schema

Optionally, override: - tags - parameters - contentTypes - defaultContentType

Methods

contentTypeForAccept

Looks for the first ContentType match in the accept header and returns its mime type, returns an empty string if there are not matches.

contentTypeFromRequest

Returns the content type from the request.

defaultContentType

Returns the default response content type in case the client did not specifically ask for any particular content type.

description

Description

handleRequest

Handles the request within its context

href

Returns an URL to self, to be used for links to the current resources and as a base for constructing links to sub-resources

layerFromCollectionId

Returns a vector layer from the collectionId in the given context.

linkTitle

Title for the handler link

linkType

Main role for the resource link

operationId

Returns the operation id for template file names and other internal references

parameters

Returns a list of query string parameters.

parentLink

Returns a link to the parent page up to levels in the HTML hierarchy from the given url, MAP query argument is preserved

path

URL pattern for this handler, named capture group are automatically extracted and returned by values()

setContentTypes

Set the content types to contentTypes

staticPath

Returns the absolute path to the base directory where static resources for this handler are stored in the given context.

summary

Summary

tags

Tags

templatePath

Returns the HTML template path for the handler in the given context

values

Analyzes the incoming request context and returns the validated parameter map, throws QgsServerApiBadRequestError in case of errors.

write

Writes data to the context response stream, content-type is calculated from the context request, optional htmlMetadata for the HTML templates can be specified and will be added as “metadata” to the HTML template variables.

contentTypeForAccept(self, accept: str) → str

Looks for the first ContentType match in the accept header and returns its mime type, returns an empty string if there are not matches.

Parameters

accept (str) –

Return type

str

contentTypeFromRequest(self, request: QgsServerRequest) → QgsServerOgcApi.ContentType

Returns the content type from the request.

The path file extension is examined first and checked for known mime types, the “Accept” HTTP header is examined next. Fallback to the default content type of the handler if none of the above matches.

Raises

QgsServerApiBadRequestError – if the content type of the request is not compatible with the handler (contentTypes() member)

Parameters

request (QgsServerRequest) –

Return type

QgsServerOgcApi.ContentType

defaultContentType(self) → QgsServerOgcApi.ContentType

Returns the default response content type in case the client did not specifically ask for any particular content type. The default implementation returns the first content type returned by contentTypes() or JSON if that list is empty.

Return type

QgsServerOgcApi.ContentType

description(self) → object

Description

Return type

object

handleRequest(self, context: QgsServerApiContext)

Handles the request within its context

Subclasses must implement this methods, and call validate() to extract validated parameters from the request.

Raises

QgsServerApiBadRequestError – if the method encounters any error

Parameters

context (QgsServerApiContext) –

href(self, context: QgsServerApiContext, extraPath: str = '', extension: str = '') → object

Returns an URL to self, to be used for links to the current resources and as a base for constructing links to sub-resources

Parameters
  • context (QgsServerApiContext) – the current request context

  • extraPath (str = '') – an optional extra path that will be appended to the calculated URL

  • extension (str = '') – optional file extension to add (the dot will be added automatically).

Return type

object

layerFromCollectionId(context: QgsServerApiContext, collectionId: str)QgsVectorLayer

Returns a vector layer from the collectionId in the given context.

Raises

QgsServerApiNotFoundError – if the layer could not be found.

Parameters
Return type

QgsVectorLayer

linkTitle(self) → object

Title for the handler link

Return type

object

linkType(self) → QgsServerOgcApi.Rel

Main role for the resource link

Return type

QgsServerOgcApi.Rel

operationId(self) → object

Returns the operation id for template file names and other internal references

Return type

object

parameters(self, context: QgsServerApiContext) → List[QgsServerQueryStringParameter]

Returns a list of query string parameters.

Depending on the handler, it may be dynamic (per-request) or static.

Parameters

context (QgsServerApiContext) – the request context

Return type

List[QgsServerQueryStringParameter]

Returns a link to the parent page up to levels in the HTML hierarchy from the given url, MAP query argument is preserved

Parameters
  • url (QUrl) –

  • levels (int = 1) –

Return type

str

path(self) → QRegularExpression

URL pattern for this handler, named capture group are automatically extracted and returned by values()

Example: “/handlername/(?P<code1>d{2})/items” will capture “code1” as a named parameter.

values()

Return type

QRegularExpression

setContentTypes(self, contentTypes: Iterable[int])

Set the content types to contentTypes

Parameters

contentTypes (Iterable[int]) –

staticPath(self, context: QgsServerApiContext) → str

Returns the absolute path to the base directory where static resources for this handler are stored in the given context.

Parameters

context (QgsServerApiContext) –

Return type

str

summary(self) → object

Summary

Return type

object

tags(self) → List[str]

Tags

Return type

List[str]

templatePath(self, context: QgsServerApiContext) → str

Returns the HTML template path for the handler in the given context

The template path is calculated from QgsServerSettings’s apiResourcesDirectory() as follow: apiResourcesDirectory() + “/ogc/templates/” + context.apiRootPath + operationId + “.html” e.g. for an API with root path “/wfs3” and an handler with operationId “collectionItems”, the path will be apiResourcesDirectory() + “/ogc/templates/wfs3/collectionItems.html”

Parameters

context (QgsServerApiContext) –

Return type

str

values(self, context: QgsServerApiContext) → Dict[str, Any]

Analyzes the incoming request context and returns the validated parameter map, throws QgsServerApiBadRequestError in case of errors.

Path fragments from the named groups in the path() regular expression are also added to the map.

Your handleRequest method should call this function to retrieve the parameters map.

Return type

Dict[str, Any]

Returns

the validated parameters map by extracting captured named parameters from the path (no validation is performed on the type because the regular expression can do it), and the query string parameters.

path()

parameters()

Raises

QgsServerApiBadRequestError – if validation fails

Parameters

context (QgsServerApiContext) –

write(self, data: Any, context: QgsServerApiContext, htmlMetadata: Dict[str, Any] = {})

Writes data to the context response stream, content-type is calculated from the context request, optional htmlMetadata for the HTML templates can be specified and will be added as “metadata” to the HTML template variables.

HTML output uses a template engine.

Available template functions: See: https://github.com/pantor/inja#tutorial

Available custom template functions: - path_append( path ): appends a directory path to the current url - path_chomp( n ): removes the specified number “n” of directory components from the current url path - json_dump(): prints current JSON data passed to the template - static( path): returns the full URL to the specified static path, for example: static(“/style/black.css”) will return something like “/wfs3/static/style/black.css”. - links_filter( links, key, value ): returns filtered links from a link list - content_type_name( content_type ): returns a short name from a content type for example “text/html” will return “HTML”
