WFS INSPIRE: Download cadastral parcels

Description

Retrieve spatial cadastral parcel and zoning data through several types of WFS queries:

• By bounding box: catr_wfs_get_parcels_bbox() retrieves objects included in the provided bounding box. See Bounding box.

• By zoning: catr_wfs_get_parcels_zoning() retrieves objects for a specific cadastral zone.

• By cadastral parcel: catr_wfs_get_parcels_parcel() retrieves cadastral parcels for a specific cadastral reference.

• Neighbor cadastral parcels: catr_wfs_get_parcels_neigh_parcel() retrieves neighboring cadastral parcels for a specific cadastral reference.

• Cadastral parcels by zoning: catr_wfs_get_parcels_parcel_zoning() retrieves cadastral parcels for a specific cadastral zone.

Usage

catr_wfs_get_parcels_bbox(
  x,
  what = c("parcel", "zoning"),
  srs = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

catr_wfs_get_parcels_zoning(cod_zona, srs = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

catr_wfs_get_parcels_parcel(rc, srs = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

catr_wfs_get_parcels_neigh_parcel(rc, srs = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

catr_wfs_get_parcels_parcel_zoning(cod_zona, srs = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x	Input defining the query area. See Bounding box. It can be: A numeric vector of length 4 with the coordinates that define the bounding box: c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax). An sf or sfc object from sf.
what	Information to load, either "parcel" for cadastral parcels or "zoning" for cadastral zoning.
srs	SRS/CRS to use in the query. To see allowed values, use catr_srs_values, specifically the wfs_service column. See Bounding box.
verbose	Logical. Whether to display informational messages.
cod_zona	Cadastral zone code.
rc	Cadastral reference to retrieve.

Value

An sf object. Returns NULL if the data cannot be retrieved.

API limits

The API service has the following limits:

• "parcel": Bounding box of 1 km2 and a maximum of 5,000 elements.

• "zoning": Bounding box of 25 km2 and a maximum of 5,000 elements.

Bounding box

When x is a numeric vector, make sure that srs matches the coordinate values. This function queries the bounding box in EPSG:25830, ETRS89 / UTM zone 30N, to work around a potential API issue.

When x is an sf object, the srs value is ignored. In this case, the bounding box of the sf object is used for the query (see sf::st_bbox()).

The result uses the SRS of the input spatial object or the srs value provided with a numeric vector.
