    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>This sounds very good in my opinion! Having OGC API Support in
      MapProxy would be a really nice feature and enable MapProxy to
      catch up with the future of OGC Standards.</p>
    <p>In general, Pull Request are always welcome and the features you
      mentioned sound interesting, so i see no obvious reasons that
      would block your contributions.</p>
    <p>Some bigger goals, like OGC API Support, would need some
      discussion before starting with development. Before reinventing
      the wheel one should examine what pygeoapi has to offer.</p>
    <p>The current documentation
      (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.pygeoapi.io/en/stable/data-publishing/ogcapi-tiles.html">https://docs.pygeoapi.io/en/stable/data-publishing/ogcapi-tiles.html</a>)
      even mentions MapProxy as a possible data source, but the examples
      are lacking, so i am not sure if support already exists or needs
      to be done. But even if its still missing, i guess it would be the
      more elegant way to use pygeoapi together with mapproxy or
      implement and extend the relevant classes, as the main thing is
      already done in pygeoapi and updated regularly.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>I may find some time in the upcoming weeks to shed some more
      light on that.</p>
    <p>I am also interested what other people think about that.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Greetings,</p>

                            <br>
                            At the Norwegian Meteorological Institute
                            we're considering using MapProxy to provide
                            model and other map based data to some of
                            our frontend services. I'm aware we've been
                            somewhat involved with MapProxy before and
                            used it for some of our services,
                            unfortunately most of those involved aren't
                            working here anymore so we're looking at
                            building from scratch and modernising our
                            services. First with a new WMS offering, but
                            we would also like to be able to provide OGC
                            API endpoints in the future.<br>
                            <br>
                            There are a couple of features which we
                            would be interested in having in MapProxy,
                            particularly related to dimensions - for
                            example, other forms of caching (S3 and
                            mbtiles), seeding, and potentially reading
                            available dimensions from WMS sources. I
                            know some of these features are available as
                            standard but I believe they currently don't
                            necessarily work with dimensions. As part of
                            this project I'm hoping that we will have
                            some developer time to put into this, so I'm
                            interested in hearing what the community
                            thinks of this, how it might fit in with any
                            roadmap the MapProxy community might already
                            have, and if you are open to us submitting
                            our own MRs for these features?<br>
                            <br>
                            I'm also interested in what the community
                            thinks of OGC-API endpoints, do you see this
                            as something which MapProxy would like to
                            offer, if the resources were available to
                            develop it? Or do you see this as something
                            which would rather be offered through other
                            packages, for example pygeoapi with MapProxy
                            providing a tile cache in the background?<br>
                            <br>
                            Interested to hear your thoughts,<br>
                            <br>
                            Kind regards,<br>
