Burkina Faso: DGI eCadastre parcels by section, îlot and parcel

Burkinabè cadastral parcels from the DGI eCadastre, as tools an AI assistant can call: find a parcel by commune, section, îlot and parcel or by coordinates, read where it sits in the cadastre, and see it on a map with its neighbours.

BF_parcel_search

Find Burkinabè cadastral parcels (DGI eCadastre) by commune, section, îlot and parcel, id or location, with each parcel's whole record. query takes a commune with section, îlot and parcel ('Ouagadougou section 022 îlot 01 parcelle 05', 'Ouagadougou 022/01/05'; îlot and parcel optional, listing the section's or îlot's parcels, paged with offset), an eCadastre id ('HHaY9yxFDiB'), or coordinates as 'latitude, longitude' (e.g. 12.3714, -1.5197). With coordinates it returns parcels containing the point (distance 0), then the nearest within `radius` metres, closest first. Each parcel has id, region, province, commune, arrondissement, secteur, section, ilot, parcelle, done, ok, mapArea (m²) and bbox. Set include_geometry for each boundary as GeoJSON (keep limit small). Use BF_parcel_image to see a parcel and its neighbours.

query*string: 'Ouagadougou 022/01/05', an eCadastre id, or 'latitude, longitude'
radiusnumber: Search radius in metres around coordinates(default 25)
limitinteger: Maximum results(default 20)
offsetinteger: Skip this many matches of a number or name search, to page through them(default 0)
include_geometryboolean: Include each boundary as a GeoJSON MultiPolygon(default false)

BF_parcel_image

A map image centred on a Burkinabè parcel (id, the eCadastre id from BF_parcel_search) or a point (query), with every parcel in view outlined and labelled section/îlot/parcelle, so you can see which parcel is where. The parcel passed as id is drawn in red with a larger label; a query point is a red dot. Returns the parcels in view as JSON (label, id, lot, commune; labelled: false where its label didn't fit), then one JPEG per basemap. Basemaps: satellite (Esri World Imagery, often a few years old), hybrid (the same imagery with road and place names), streets and topo (Esri's street and topographic maps). Pass several to compare, e.g. ['satellite', 'streets'] to match buildings with street names. Parcel outlines are yellow on imagery and magenta on maps. Imagery is not always aligned with the cadastre: offsets of a few metres are possible. A scale bar is at bottom left. Labels are left off where they'd overlap; call again with a smaller radius to read them. Each image costs about as much context as 1,000 words, so ask for what you need.

idstring: eCadastre id (HHaY9yxFDiB), drawn in red
querystring: 'latitude, longitude' to centre on instead of a parcel
radiusnumber: Metres from the centre to the image edge. Default: fits the parcel with a margin, or 80 m around a point
basemapsarray: One image per basemap(default ["satellite"])
sizeinteger: Image width and height in pixels(default 768)

About the data

~642k parcels digitised so far: Ouagadougou and Kadiogo, Bobo-Dioulasso and Koudougou. Elsewhere there are none.
A parcel sits in a commune, section (3 digits), îlot and parcel; the two cities also have arrondissements and secteurs.
No owner, title or registered area: the public layer is the parcel's place in the cadastre and its outline.
