BGS OGCAPI Service

This server provides OGCAPI endpoints for a selection of BGS open geospatial data. The BGS has a wide range of datasets and wants to increase access to these, publishing as many as possible under Open Government Licence. Not all datasets are available under OGL, please check the metadata record for the dataset to confirm any licence requirements and obligations if not OGL. This is a BETA API service, endpoints and attributes could change at anytime, unscheduled downtime should be expected. Data includes boreholes, earthquakes and mineral statistics
