About the Aerial Map Service
For customers in the Netherlands that use our aerial imagery (LuchtfotoNL), we offer this data also as a web service in various OGC standards. This allows you to load the data into your GIS application by using one of the service URLs explained below.
Authentication is done through basic authentication with a username and password. You need to add this to your service configuration, or add it to each service request.
Web Map Service (WMS)
The URL of the Aerial Map Service in WMS format is:
https://atlasapi.cyclomedia.com/api/geodata/wms
Imagery of each year is provided as separate layers, for example 'NL_aerial_2018_10cm' for the year 2018. By using a GetCapabilities request, you can retrieve a list of all available layers.
For more information about the WMS standard, see the OGC documentation: https://www.ogc.org/standard/wms/
Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)
For aerial imagery from 2016 onwards, a WMTS is available which has the same layers as the WMS. The WMTS is available in RD coordinates only (EPSG: 28992). You can access the WMTS here:
https://atlasapi.cyclomedia.com/api/geodata/wmts/cyclowmts?
service=WMTS
Similarly as for the WMS, you can retrieve the list of layers through a GetCapabilities request:
https://atlasapi.cyclomedia.com/api/geodata/wmts/cyclowmts?
service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities
For more information about the WMTS standard, see the OGC documentation: https://www.ogc.org/standard/wmts/
Tile Map Service (TMS)
The TMS is served for two coordinate systems: RD (EPSG: 28992) and Web Mercator (EPSG: 3057). The difference between the two is explained in more detail in the section 'Understanding TMS pyramids'.
