esri-dump

A Node module to assist with pulling data out of an ESRI ArcGIS REST server into GeoJSON or ImageryURLs.

This is based on Python code @iandees wrote to do the same thing.

install

npm install -g esri-dump

API

exposes a function, which if you give it a url, will return a stream of the geojson features.

var esriDump = require("esri-dump");
var jsonStream = esriDump(url);
var featureCollection = {
  type: 'FeatureCollection',
  features: []
}
jsonStream.on('type', function(type) {
    //Emitted before any data events
    //emits one of
    // - `MapServer'
    // - 'ImageServer'
});
 
jsonStream.on('data', function (feature) {
    featureCollection.features.push(feature);
});
 
jsonStream.on('end', function () {
    doSomething(null, featureCollection)
});
 
jsonStream.on('error', function (err) {
    doSomething(err);
});

Data Output

FeatureServer and MapServer

Output from an ESRI FeatureServer or an ESRI MapServer is returned as GeoJSON like the example below.

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [
        {
            "type": "Feature",
            "properties": {
                "objectid": 1
            },
            "geometry": {
                "type": "Polygon",
                "coordinates": [
                    [
                        [
                            -65.6231319,
                            31.7127058
                        ],
                        [
                            -65.6144566,
                            31.7020286
                        ],
                        [
                            -65.6231319,
                            31.698692
                        ],
                        [
                            -65.6231319,
                            31.7127058
                        ]
                    ]
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

ImageServer

Output from an ESRI ImageServer is returned as GeoJSON extents for the image like in the example below. Each GeoJSON feature will include an id in the properties which refers to its Raster ID from the server. It will also include a files array which will contain the URL of the image as well as additional metadata.

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [
        {
            "type": "Feature",
            "properties": {
                "id": 1,
                "files": [
                    {
                        "url": "http://example.com/image.tif",
                        "name": "image.tif"
                    },
                    {
                        "url": "http://example.com/image.tif.ovr",
                        "name": "image.tif.ovr"
                    },
                    {
                        "url": "http://example.com/image.tif.aux.xml",
                        "name": "image.tif.aux.xml"
                    }
                ]
            },
