Open data in GeoLibre

Summary

Find geospatial datasets and map services on a webpage and open them in GeoLibre.

Detailed description

Open data in GeoLibre turns dataset catalogs, documentation pages, and project websites into launch points for an interactive map.

Click the extension icon to find supported data links on the current page, filter them by vector or raster type, choose the files you need, and open them together in GeoLibre. Supported links include GeoJSON, GeoParquet, PMTiles, Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF, and ZIP archives containing GeoJSON.

The extension also reads schema.org download metadata, understands existing GeoLibre links, pairs matching GeoLibre style files, and discovers the complete file inventory on virtualized Source Cooperative repository pages.

Interactive maps are supported too. The extension recognizes completed WMS, WMTS, WFS, OGC API Features, ArcGIS Feature Service, XYZ/TMS, and vector-tile requests made by the current tab.

Detected service URLs stay in temporary browser session storage only until the tab closes. The extension runs no analytics and sends no browsing activity to GeoLibre unless you explicitly select an item and open it.

Dataset servers must allow browser access through CORS. Complete HTTP(S) URLs, including signed query parameters, are forwarded to GeoLibre. Cookies and other browser-session credentials are not forwarded, so cookie-bound or session-authenticated links may fail. Temporary blob: links cannot be transferred.

Permission justification

  • activeTab: grants temporary access to the page only after the user invokes the extension, so its dataset links can be inspected.
  • scripting: injects the local, packaged dataset scanner into that active tab.
  • webRequest and HTTP(S) host access: observes completed requests locally to identify geospatial services used by interactive maps.
  • storage: holds detected service URLs in session-only storage until their tab closes so the popup can display them.

The extension does not request browsing history, downloads, cookies, or remote code.
