What authentication does this PDOK WFS require?

This PDOK WFS service requires no authentication. It is a public Dutch government open data service. All endpoints are freely accessible without API keys or tokens.

What time period does this habitat distribution data cover?

The dataset covers habitat type distribution and extent for the 2007-2012 reporting period under the EU Habitats Directive. It represents the official Dutch submission for Article 17 conservation status reporting.

How are the 208 endpoints organized?

Each habitat type has two endpoints: a collection endpoint (e.g., /verspreidingdrogeheiden/) returning all features for that type, and an individual feature endpoint (e.g., /verspreidingdrogeheiden/{id}/) for retrieving a specific feature by ID. The naming follows Dutch habitat type classifications.

How do I query specific habitat types through Jentic?

Install with pip install jentic, search for 'Dutch habitat distribution' or a specific type like 'dry heathland distribution'. Jentic maps your intent to the correct Dutch-named endpoint and returns the schema. Execute to retrieve GeoJSON spatial features.

What spatial data format do the responses use?

The WFS returns feature data compatible with GeoJSON, including geometry polygons defining habitat distribution areas and attribute fields describing the habitat classification and reporting metadata.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the PDOK Habitat Distribution WFS?

Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted, so your own rules decide which of this WFS's operations your agent may call, and every operation here is a read-only GET. Because each feature id sits in the URL path, such as /verspreidingdrogeheiden/{id}/, you can pin the agent to a single habitat-type distribution collection so it reads that data and nothing else. Only the endpoints you allow will run, and since the service is public open data there is no credential for the agent to touch.
