--- title: "OVCCoordenadas web service" description: Retrieve spatial coordinates of urban properties. author: - Ángel Delgado Panadero - Diego Hernangómez tbl-cap-location: bottom vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{OVCCoordenadas web service} %\VignetteEngine{quarto::html} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- **CatastRo** provides an **R** interface to the OVCCoordenadas web service from the [Sede electrónica del Catastro](https://ovc.catastro.meh.es/ovcservweb/ovcswlocalizacionrc/ovccoordenadas.asmx). This service retrieves the spatial coordinates of an urban property. You do not need to be the owner to get the information. You only need to know the cadastral reference of the property. Although the cadastral reference is the only required argument, providing the address can improve results and help avoid errors. The service can also obtain the cadastral reference of an urban property from longitude and latitude. It allows you to choose the spatial reference system (SRS, also known as CRS) used to express the coordinates. The service also handles cases where the exact location of the registered urban property is unknown. In such cases, it returns all properties located within a 50-meter square around the given point. The documentation for this service is available [here](https://ovc.catastro.meh.es/ovcservweb/ovcswlocalizacionrc/ovccoordenadas.asmx). These functions use the `catr_ovc_get_*()` prefix and return tibbles from the **tibble** package. ## CatastRo API The OVCCoordenadas web service can be accessed using the following functions: - `catr_ovc_get_rccoor()` - `catr_ovc_get_rccoor_distancia()` - `catr_ovc_get_cpmrc()` ## Reverse geocoding cadastral references `catr_ovc_get_rccoor()` takes the coordinates (`lat` and `lon`) and the spatial reference system (`srs`) used to express them. It returns a tibble with the cadastral reference of the property at that spatial point, including other information such as the address (town, street and number). ``` r library(CatastRo) result <- catr_ovc_get_rccoor( lat = 38.6196566583596, lon = -3.45624183836806, srs = "4230" ) knitr::kable(result) ``` |refcat |address |pc.pc1 |pc.pc2 | geo.xcen| geo.ycen|geo.srs |ldt | |:--------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-------|:-------|---------:|--------:|:---------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |13077A01800039 |DS DISEMINADO Polígono 18 Parcela 39 000100200VH67C EL TIRADERO.
