MapProxy supports the following sources:
You need to choose a unique name for each configured source. This name will be used to reference the source in the caches and layers configuration.
The sources section looks like:
sources:
mysource1:
type: xxx
type_dependend_option1: a
type_dependend_option2: b
mysource2:
type: yyy
type_dependend_option3: c
See below for a detailed description of each service.
Use the type wms to for WMS servers.
This describes the WMS source. The only required options are url and layers. You need to set transparent to true if you want to use this source as an overlay.
req:
url: http://example.org/service?
layers: base,roads
transparent: true
All other options are added to the query string of the request.
req:
url: http://example.org/service?
layers: roads
styles: simple
map: /path/to/mapfile
You can omit layers if you configure sld or sld_body. See sources with SLD for more information.
This option affects what request MapProxy sends to the source WMS server.
Define the covered area of the source. The source will only be requested if there is an intersection between the requested data and the coverage. See coverages for more information about the configuration. The intersection is calculated for meta-tiles and not the actual client request, so you should expect more visible data at the coverage boundaries.
Disable this source in regular mode. If set to true, this source will always return a blank/transparent image. The source will only be requested during the seeding process. You can use this option to run MapProxy in an offline mode.
Limit the source to the given min and max resolution or scale. MapProxy will return a blank image for requests outside of these boundaries. You can use either the resolution or the scale values, missing values will be interpreted as unlimited. Resolutions should be in meters per pixel.
The values will also apear in the capabilities documents (i.e. WMS ScaleHint and Min/MaxScaleDenominator). The boundaries will be regarded for each source, but the values in the capabilities might differ if you combine multiple sources or if the MapProxy layer already has a min/max_res configuration.
Pleas read scale vs. resolution for some notes on scale.
A list with SRSs that the WMS source supports. MapProxy will only query the source in these SRSs. It will reproject data if it needs to get data from this layer in any other SRS.
You don’t need to configure this if you only use this WMS as a cache source and the WMS supports all SRS of the cache.
If MapProxy needs to reproject and the source has multiple supported_srs, then it will use the fist projected SRS for requests in projected SRS, or the fist geographic SRS for requests in geographic SRS. E.g when supported_srs is ['EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:31467'] caches with EPSG:900913 will use EPSG:32467.
Use this option to specify which image formats you source WMS supports. MapProxy only requests images in one of these formats, and will convert any image if it needs another format. If you do not supply this options, MapProxy assumes that the source supports all formats.
This limits the number of parallel requests MapProxy will issue to the source server. It even works across multiple WMS sources as long as all have the same concurrent_requests value and all req.url parameters point to the same host. Defaults to 0, which means no limitation.
MapProxy checks the SSL server certificates for any req.url that use HTTPS. You need to supply a file (see) that includes that certificate, otherwise MapProxy will fail to establish the connection. You can set the http.ssl_no_cert_check options to true to disable this verification.
Minimal example:
my_minimal_wmssource:
type: wms
req:
url: http://localhost:8080/service?
layers: base
Full example:
my_wmssource:
type: wms
wms_opts:
version: 1.0.0
featureinfo: True
supported_srs: ['EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:31467']
coverage:
polygons: GM.txt
polygons_srs: EPSG:900913
req:
url: http://localhost:8080/service?mycustomparam=foo
layers: roads
another_param: bar
transparent: true
Use the type tile to request data from from existing tile servers like TileCache and GeoWebCache. You can also use this source cascade MapProxy installations.
This source takes a url option that contains a URL template. The template format is %(key_name)s. MapProxy supports the following named variables in the URL:
Additionally you can specify the origin of the tile grid with the origin option. Supported values are sw for south-west (lower-left) origin or nw for north-west (upper-left) origin. sw is the default.
The grid of the tile source. Defaults to GLOBAL_MERCATOR, a grid that is compatible with popular web mapping applications.
Define the covered area of the source. The source will only be requested if there is an intersection between the incoming request and the coverage. See coverages for more information.
my_tile_source:
type: tile
grid: mygrid
url: http://localhost:8080/tile?x=%(x)s&y=%(y)s&z=%(z)s&format=%(format)s
origin: nw
Adds information like resolution and BBOX to the response image. This is useful to determine a fixed set of resolutions for the res-parameter. It takes no options.
Example:
debug_source:
type: debug
