I would like to know how I can work with ATOM FEED Data in QGIS. In ealier QGIS versions this worked with the Plugin "INSPIRE ATOM Client", but this Plugin doesn't work in the current version.

An Atom feed is a web feed that uses the Atom Syndication Format and the Atom Publishing Protocol. Atom comprises an XML-based format that describes an Atom feed and the items of information in it, and a protocol for publishing and editing Atom feeds. -https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.5.0/fundamentals/web/dfhtl_atom_whatis.html

  • Have you resolved the issue? I would be looking at writing a small python script that you can run within QGIS to read the ATOM file and convert it into a format that you can import directly. If the data you need is pretty siple then you could insert it into a geojson file pretty easily.

In case someone is still struggling with this: You can still use the INSPIRE Atom Client in QGIS 3.x by installing the plugin from a zip file.

The Geoportal of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (German State) for example offers the plugin on its website:

https://www.geoportal-mv.de/portal/downloads/plugins/qgis_plugins.zip

Simply unzip the file, open your QGIS and go to Plugins -> Manage and install Plugins -> Install from ZIP File. Be careful to choose the right folder (atom_feed_client.zip).

Once the installation is finished you can use the plugin to get the Spatial Dataset from your Atom Feed Service. The data will be downloaded into your QGIS temporary folder.
