WMTS
Main WMTS Url
Section titled “Main WMTS Url”Use the lowercase service path:
https://prod-data.nimbo.earth/mapcache/wmts?kermap_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>The checked service implements WMTS 1.0.0. The uppercase
/mapcache/WMTS/1.0.0 URL formerly shown here returned HTTP 400 in the
2026-09-30 audit.
WMTS GetCapabilities Url
Section titled “WMTS GetCapabilities Url”https://prod-data.nimbo.earth/mapcache/wmts/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml?kermap_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>The KVP form also works:
https://prod-data.nimbo.earth/mapcache/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.0.0&kermap_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>Read the layer identifiers, formats, styles and matrix sets from this XML.
The verified configuration uses EPSG:3857, matrix set kermap, style
default, and 256 × 256 PNG tiles.
GetTile
Section titled “GetTile”Verified REST template:
https://prod-data.nimbo.earth/mapcache/wmts/1.0.0/{LAYER}/default/kermap/{z}/{y}/{x}.png?kermap_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>Rows count from the north, as in XYZ. The REST order is zoom / row / column.
Use the numeric matrix level, such as 12.
Equivalent KVP example:
https://prod-data.nimbo.earth/mapcache/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetTile&VERSION=1.0.0&LAYER=2026_8_1&STYLE=default&TILEMATRIXSET=kermap&TILEMATRIX=12&TILEROW=1409&TILECOL=2074&FORMAT=image/png&kermap_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>Availability and client limits
Section titled “Availability and client limits”Use the Data Catalog for dated observations of available editions. A capabilities entry does not guarantee a non-empty tile at every location.
The audit found an inconsistency in the advertised limits for 2021_11_3:
the Paris tile at zoom 12, row 1409, column 2074 returned data, although it
falls outside that layer’s listed row limits. If a WMTS client hides an
otherwise working historical layer, compare its behavior with the
TMS service and report the layer and coordinates.
