OGC API - Tiled features demonstration

This module provides an example of extending the OGC API - Features module with a building block from OGC API - Tiles, used for tiled access to raw vector data (the vector tiles modules is included).

This module is not required to use vector tiles, it’s also possible to use OGC API - Tiles directly, see OGC API - Tiles, along with the installation of the vector tiles extension.

Installing the GeoServer OGC API tiled features module

  1. Download the OGC API nightly GeoServer community module from https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/2025.1/src/community/ogcapi-tiled-features.

    Warning

    Verify that the version number in the filename corresponds to the version of GeoServer you are running (for example geoserver-2025.1-ogcapi-tiled-features-plugin.zip above).

  2. Extract the contents of the archive into the WEB-INF/lib directory of the GeoServer installation.

  3. On restart the services are listed at https://instance.geocat.live/geoserver
