I have managed to add a GeoJSON layer to QGIS via an HTTP protocol in my local machine. How can I save the connection in the browser so I can access it in other QGIS projects?

Below is a sample URL I used:

https://localhost/rest/services/api/geroserver/find?layer=rivers.fill&searchText=ch&searchField=id&returnGeometry=true&geometryFormat=geojson

(The above link is just for demo purposes only, it serves as an example. I cannot share the real link)

  • Can you just use wfs in the browser? like lifeingis.com/adding-layers-from-geoserver-in-qgis (include port number)

  • Thank you @Mapperz in a real work scenario, your approach is correct to follow. I am just looking at other possibilities which I have managed to achieve some of them, I am looking into ways to keep them in my QGIS environment without having to reload them manually all the time. It is like putting a helicopter engine into a bike.

Save it as a layer definition file (*.qlr).

Example:

  • I add this geojson to QGIS

    enter image description here

  • I save as a layer definition

    enter image description here

  • It's now available anytime in the browser

    enter image description here

  • If I add the .qlr to QGIS from the browser, it is still pointing to the online GeoJSON

To add to @user2856 answer, by adding the folder as a favorite folder, I could not only access to the .qlr file but also to the project and its content in terms of layers. See the picture below.:
