Endpoints

Adding a new Endpoint (Harvester)

If a new end_point type needs to be created, do the following

1. Add a new End_Point_Type to 'geoportal_manager/resources/models.py' with a 2 character abbreviation and long name

2. From the Terminal run python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate

3. Create file collection class for processing the file. This script will load the end_point, loop over the layers and create the parent and child records as appropriate. Follow one of the other custom FileCollection##.py files in the geoportal_manager/resources/harvester/ folder for guidance.

4. Create file parser class to parse the json file. Follow one of the other custom FileParser##.py files in the geoportal_manager/resources/harvester/ folder for guidance. For ArcGIS Map Services, the FilePArse_ARC may already be equipped for your needs.

5. Update the geoportal_manager/resources/harvester/FileManager.py file:

   • Add lines to import both the new FileCollection and FileParser scripts
   • Update the load method to include an 'elif'

Endpoint Logos

Adding an endpoint logo to appear beside listings can be done by including an absolute path to an image online.
