Prior releases of QGIS Server only provided support for the dimensions of time and elevation for vector layers and provided no integration with the updated temporal properties API provided by QGIS.
QGIS Server has now been extended to support the time dimension in the GetCapabilities response for WMS services, and accept a TIME query string parameter which provides capacity for temporal data filtering.
Parsing time values will be performed with the implementation specification provided by OGC API - Features (OAPIF) and use the following structure:
| interval| syntax | |---|---| | interval-closed | date-time "/" date-time | | interval-open-start | [".."] "/" date-time | | interval-open-end | date-time "/" [".."] | | interval | interval-closed / interval-open-start / interval-open-end | | datetime | date-time / interval |
Note that this filtering applies to single values only, and a list of instants or ranges is not currently supported.
To prevent conflict with existing TIME dimension stipulations on legacy projects, if a TIME dimension was explicitly defined for a vector layer, the temporal properties for that layer will not be activated and the explicitly set TIME dimension will be considered instead.
