OGC Maps API provides crucial information for analyzing maps and map data. The geospatial data is currently fetched using REST APIs, and each time the parameters have to be passed manually. A better way to handle this would be to dynamically pass the parameters. The idea is to create a Python client that will enable devs to GET/POST data by using the python wrapper in their code. Requests to the API can also be made through a CLI tool developed specifically for the API. The main goal is to integrate the Maps API into a single client that is extensible in the future to add other endpoints.
