Hi all,

I'm working with ESdat environmental data management software, which provides OData feeds for connecting to live data. The documentation shows this works with ESRI (using the data interop extension) and Microsoft products like Power BI and Excel.

I'd like to do something similar in QGIS - essentially connect to an OData endpoint and access live data tables/views.

 Has anyone successfully connected QGIS to OData feeds? Are there any:

  • Built-in QGIS features that support OData connections?
  • Plugins that handle OData endpoints?
  • Workarounds using other data sources or formats?

I'm trying to avoid needing to export and reimport data manually and instead maintain a live connection.

 Any guidance or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

I’m not 100% sure on this but I think you can get ArcGIS GeoJSON type feeds from ESdat, so you could probably get to the data via a vector http\https protocol in the data source manager??  Worth a crack 😊

Thanks Simon, I think the http\https protocol looks like the way to go.

It looks we need to upgrade our ESdat licence level to gain access to the API key first.

Cheers,
Mark
