Welcome to the geoapis wiki!
geoapis is a Python package for simply downloading publicly available web-hosted geo-spatial data.
It currently supports downloading LiDAR data from OpenTopography, and vector data from the LINZ, LRIS and Stats NZ Data Portals.
The lidar module takes care of downloading LiDAR datasets from a source (i.e. OpenTopography) either within a search polygon, by name, or both. All tiles to be downloaded (either in the search region, the named dataset or both) are downloaded to the specified cache_path.
The vector module takes care of downloading vector datasets from a source (i.e. LDS, LRIS Portal, or Stats NZ datafinder). The vector layer to be downloaded must be specified. A polygon can also be specified if the user is only interested in the vector layer features overlapping that polygon.
More information about using the lidar and vector modules can be found at the wiki page Basic Usage.
