<span>Hi Seth,<br>
</span>
<div></div>
<div>Thanks for your reply!</div>
<div>Yes, the modification of Mapfiles through an API is what I'm looking for.</div>
<div>We are thinking of replacing GeoServer instances by MapServer.</div>
<div>So the geo-data will be retrieved by using the OGC WMS and WFS-requests.</div>
<div>Currently, we can change configuration through the GeoServer REST API.</div>
<div>I will defintely look into the mappyfile library, to see if we can recreate that functionality.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>

<div>Hi Damien,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the REST API is more for modifying Mapfiles rather than accessing data?<br>
</div>
<div>The latter looks like it will gradually happen with the implementation of the OGC Features API.<br>
</div>
<div>See <a href="https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi">https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi</a> for an example.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've not heard of <a href="https://github.com/neogeo-technologies/mra">https://github.com/neogeo-technologies/mra</a> before. Looks like there was a recent bug fix so maybe still active? I'm unaware of any others.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I sometimes make dynamic maps by storing a Python dict object and manipulating it based on requests and using
<a href="https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io">https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io</a> to write back to a Mapfile.<br>

<div><span>Hi all,<br>
</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm currently looking if it is possible to dynamically create a MapServer configuration, preferably through a REST API.<br>
</div>
<div>This was previously discussed in: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/REST-config-API-td4257211.html.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A MapServer Rest API (MRA) does exist on https://github.com/neogeo-technologies/mra, but I can't find much mention of this by other users.<br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have experience using this API?<br>
</div>
<div>Or is anyone familiar with another way to dynamically create/update mapserver mapfiles?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards,<br>
