How to import WFS data into ArcGIS Pro?

Davec43 — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 17:02:05 GMT

I'm having a hard time with this one. I'm trying to get Netherlands no fly zones: Nationaal GeoRegister (The sites in Dutch so use Google Chrome for easy translate.)

The data is available in WFS but whenever I goto Insert > Connections > Server > Add WFS Server I get an error.

They have the data available in JSON/GEOJSON but whenever I download it, it appears as an HTML?

Any suggestions?

I ended up Snipping the images I needed and georefrencing it in Arc. I think the issue was I don't have a user/pass to the site so the WFS fails.

I'm glad you found a workaround for this.

For reference, I was able to add the WFS to ArcGIS Pro (Insert > Connections > Server > Add WFS Server) fine without a user/password using this URL: https://service.pdok.nl/lvnl/drone-no-flyzones/wfs/v1_0?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS
