QGIS Installation and Configuration

AmigoCloud integration is included in QGIS starting from version 2.18.3 and up. 

Installation

The easiest way to install QGIS is by using the standalone installer from QGIS.ORG.

API Access Token

Before connecting to the AmigoCloud backend, we need to setup an AmigoCloud API token. A token with proper access permissions can be generated using the AmigoCloud dashboard as described here: Generate API tokens. Make sure to create a User token type. Then create a new User Environment Variable AMIGOCLOUD_API_KEY with the value of the token. 

 Also add the environment variable AMIGOCLOUD_PAGE_SIZE=100

 and GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL=YES

To connect QGIS plugin to a custom AmigoCloud server, please add another environment variable with a URL to a server

AMIGOCLOUD_API_URL=https://www.amigocloud.com/api/v1

AmigoCloud Plugin

 The QGIS AmigoCloud plugin can be installed from the QGIS Plugin Manager. 

On Mac OS platform the plugin may fail with this error: 

ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed

In this case MacOS users can resolve it by opening Finder and double clicking 

/Applications/Python 3.6/Install Certificates.command

After successful installation, use the AmigoCloud plugin to add a vector layer:

AmigoCloud API token can be set as an environment variable, or pasted in Connection Settings view.
