Geographical referentials availability plan 2025News

A geographical referential is a dataset providing spatial information, such as the administrative divisions of a country or a territory.For a couple years now, we have invested in developing data pipelines in order to make those geographical referentials available in the product.They are available as simple datasets that you can use via federation for example. But they are also available in services: Processors (Geojoin and Retrieve Administrative Divisions) Studio base maps Providing those geographical referential is not an easy work. We rely on external sources. Even if they are official sources, they are sometimes not consistent in their release date. Also the API may change, the schema may change. It’s hard to keep up with the release even for us, so we know it’s even harder for you. Here is our plan in releasing geographical referential in 2025.We will try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Though keep in mind that those dates are a best case scenario based on our experience fo

Get ODS to take at least the first value (lat/lon)

I’m trying to use some Openstreetmap data in ODS.However some of the data is formed where there are multiple lat/lon for an ID and when bringing it into ODS, ODS takes none of the lat/lon pairs when there are multiple.  See screenshot of the multiple lat/lon pairs The records with multiple happen to be at the bottom as I think (assume) ODS uses the first 20 rows to determine a pattern.  I want ODS to at least take the first pair of lat/lon so the data is somewhat accurate (at the moment it just ignores this and leaves the lat and lon fields blank. Query used for bringing in the data is here:https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=%2F*%0AThis%20query%20looks%20for%20nodes%2C%20ways%20and%20relations%20%0Awith%20the%20given%20key%2Fvalue%20combination.%0AChoose%20your%20region%20and%20hit%20the%20Run%20button%20above%21%0A*%2F%0A%5Bout%3Ajson%5D%5Btimeout%3A25%5D%3B%0A%2F%2F%20gather%20results%0Anwr%5B%22highway%22%3D%22elevator%22%5D%28-27.870644599673355%2C152.0219421386719%2C-26.

Use of [totals] in ods-adv-table widget

Hello!I am currently working on visualizing a table in a dashboard, and I would like to have a final row where I can freely sum or average the values in the table. The table is updated daily and evolves over time. The [totals] argument in ods-adv-table exists, but as far as I know, it only allows summing the column values.The only workaround we have found so far is to create a second table, removing the "group-by" per day and computing the sum/average where needed. However, this solution has a visual drawback: the legend remains, and the data in the second table is not perfectly aligned with the first one.Do you have any other ideas to improve the visualization? I would greatly appreciate your help :)

Limiter la connexion HTTP OAuth2 en App Registration à un site SharePoint en particulier

Après plusieurs tests de configuration, le support Opendatasoft nous a indiqué que le connecteur HTTP en OAuth2 ne permet pas encore de limiter l’autorisation d’accès à un site SharePoint en particulier “Sites.Selected” (voir Controlling app access on a specific SharePoint site collections - ESPC Conference, 2025). Pour le moment, il est uniquement possible d’accorder une autorisation sur tous les sites SharePoint de notre organisation ce qui n’est pas conforme aux bonnes pratiques de sécurité « least privilege access ».Nous espérons que ce développement sera programmé dès que possible par Opendatasoft. Nous vous remercions d’avance de soutenir ce besoin et de partager votre expérience à ce sujet.Nadia (Ville de Bruxelles)Auto-translation 🪄After several configuration tests, Opendatasoft support informed us that the HTTP connector in OAuth2 does not yet allow to limit the access authorization to a particular SharePoint site “Sites.Selected” (see Controlling app access on a specific Sha

Extract Geoshape from URL

I’m looking to load data from an API that has a value in each record that is a link to a json file that has geographical data in it. Is there a way to extract the data from each of those geojsons into their corresponding row on the Open Data Portal?Currently I am using the extract URL processor and the load file processor, but this only creates a hyperlink to the json file, rather than pulling the data out of those files as a geoshape.Is there a processor I can use to do this, or perhaps something I can do with the data source settings?Auto-translation 🪄Je cherche à charger des données à partir d'une API qui a une valeur dans chaque enregistrement qui est un lien vers un fichier json contenant des données géographiques.
