Data Sources#

Lethbridge datasets come in three types:

1. ArcGIS Feature Services — Queryable geospatial data (parks, streets, boundaries)
2. ArcGIS Map Services — Read-only map layers
3. Document Links — Direct file downloads (Excel, CSV, PDF)

The CLI auto-detects the source type and uses the appropriate method.

• Endpoint: https://gis.lethbridge.ca/gisopendata/rest/services/OpenData/
• Supports where, outFields, resultRecordCount, f (json/geojson) parameters
• Max 2000 records per query
