arcgis-rest-apiqgis
I want to connect to this REST Service, from QGIS Essen, using its URI:
http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Property/MapServer/2?f=pjson
Any tips please?
I tried adding it as a Vector layer, protocal GeoJSON. I also tried the OGR method, constructed as follows; ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON NSW_Property_20160314.json "maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Property/…*&f=json" OGRGeoJSON
It works for me this way:
Layer -> Add Layer -> Add ARCGIS MapServer Layer
Click on New
Provide a name, like Dijkenkaart
For URL, Paste the URL you gave in your question.
Then Click on Connect and Add, and you should see the server data:
I added some OpenStreetMap background for reference.
You need to make a request to the ?query endpoint of the layer, and supply a where clause. Specify &f=json to receive the response in JSON.
Note that ArcGIS Server by default only returns the first 1000 records, so you may need to batch your requests using OBJECTID ranges as the where clause until you've retrieved all records, using this syntax:
That is, use where objectid < 999 in the first request, then where objectid >= 1000 and objectid < 1999, etc, until there are no more responses.

If you read This you will see that it is not possible to import ArcGIS Server REST as vector layers.
My advice would be to use the WMS that is available (see below). Also if you select the image type as PNG then you will just get the boundaries of the polygons and the rest will be transparent.
