About
Waystones Cloud turns any QGIS vector layer into live, shareable web services in seconds. Select a layer, enter a dataset slug, choose your services, and click Publish: - OGC API Features (OAPIF) — a queryable REST API for your vector data; the modern successor to WFS - Vector tiles (MVT / PMTiles) — fast, zoomable tiles ready for web maps and GIS clients - STAC — standardised spatial metadata for data discovery and cataloguing Works with any vector source QGIS can open: shapefiles, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, PostGIS, KML, GML, and more. The plugin converts to GeoPackage automatically — no manual export needed. Requires a free Waystones Cloud account and API key. Sign up at https://waystones.cloud.
