How to access layer ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d

[L. Neth]

Hello

Is this group the right place for asking questions related to data.geo or only for api3.geo.admin.ch?

My question would be: Why is the collection ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d_2 not listed under the /collections list?

And where would i find access to the beta version 3 of the swissbuildings collection?

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

L.

Hello 

Thanks for your request.

In fact the two collections are available here via the stac browser directly or also via the swisstopo geodata shop:

• swissbuildings3d_2: https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/landschaftsmodell-swissbuildings3d-2-0 (shop), https://data.geo.admin.ch/browser/index.html#/collections/ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d_2 (stac browser)
• swissbuildings3d_3 (BETA): https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/landschaftmodell-swissbuildings3d-3-0-beta (shop), https://data.geo.admin.ch/browser/index.html#/collections/ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d_3_0 (stac browser)

Thanks for the hint for the collection list. We'll investigate, why these collections do currently not appear there.

Kind regards

Hello again,

We have had another look at this and the answer to your question is that the response of /collections is paginated. As documented in the endpoint's specifications, it only returns the first 100 collections per default. Unfortunately, ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d_2 is not among the first 100 collections.

You have two options to get to the ch.swisstopo.swissbuildings3d_2 collection:
1. Iterate over all pages via the "next" link in the "links" section of the response.
2. Restrict the result to the "swisstopo" provider like in curl https://data.geo.admin.ch/api/stac/v1/collections?provider=swisstopo

Kind regards
