Hi all,

I am trying to extract information from 'ch.bfe.elektrizitaetsproduktionsanlagen' and I want to obtain all photovaltic entries. There are approximately 320'000 entries and if I do it with API limitation of 200 features it takes a very long time. Is there a more efficient way to dot it with API, or is downloading the csv version only option?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Ezgi

Hi Ezgi,

Thank you for your question.

The preferred way to download entire datasets is to use the STAC API and retrieve the dataset you are interested in directly.

For ch.bfe.elektrizitaetsproduktionsanlagen, the available files and formats can be accessed here:
https://data.geo.admin.ch/browser/index.html#/collections/ch.bfe.elektrizitaetsproduktionsanlagen/items/elektrizitaetsproduktionsanlagen?.language=en

The geo.admin.ch Map API (api3.geo.admin.ch) is mainly designed for querying feature information for a small number of features (currently up to 200 per request).

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Marc
