Summer services update
For more technical users, our web services and APIs allow you to easily get data from LDS into your application. You can get real-time access to the most up-to-date data you need, when you need it, without having to manually download the data.
APIs and web services supported by LDS
Add data to a GIS app
Web Feature Services (WFS) allow you to pull LDS vector (point, line and polygon) and tabular data into your application. We support OGC WFS web service versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 2.0.0.
Get incremental data
Our WFS Changeset service lets you get just the data that has changed between updates, rather than the whole dataset. This means you can be sure you always have the most recent Toitū Te Whenua data in your database.
Add data to an Esri ArcGIS product
A collection of our key datasets are available as ArcGIS REST services for easy discovery and integration in Esri products.

Tile services are available for our aerial photos, topographic maps, hydrographic chart images and property boundaries.
