Hi,

I can call a WCS by means of my browser, using a getcoverage request. The service returns

a geotiff, for example, that i can save to my disk.

It would be great to use FME instead. However, I only find WMS and WFS Reader.

Do you know a way to do it anyway, do I have to use the HTTPcaller?

Best wishes!

Yes, I suspect you will have to use the HTTPCaller, I can't find any native support for WCS in FME.

It should be relatively straight-forward, however.

Hi Femo, I came across this thread facing a similar problem with FME 2018, the version used by my client. The http caller returns an extensive code in the _response_body field instead of the raster file with cell values. I noticed that you mentioned that you had attached a sample workbench to your post. I can't seem to find that workbench. Do you think you still have that workbench, after 4 years? Or do you know of a way to correctly parse a WCS URL in an http caller so that it returns the actual raster file? Sincerely, Vince
