Ingesting data from ESRI Feature Services into pygeoapi

  1. Create a new section in the local.config.yml config file

  1. specify the URL for the service layer in the data field.

    • id_field will often be OBJECTID, objectid, or FID.

  2. If the map or feature service is not shared publicly, the username and password fields can be set in the configuration to authenticate into the service.
