💡 TIP - For the best performance, view STREAM:RASTER layers as tile services (WMTS). Tiled map services are optimized to load quickly in web maps and other applications. WMS will perform much slower than WMTS, so only use WMS in cases where WMTS is not available.
Get Started
To view STREAM:RASTER layers via WMS, you'll need:
- A valid API Key
WMS
STREAM:RASTER supports OGC Web Map Service (WMS) versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.3.0. Map service layers should be viewable in any client that supports these WMS protocols.
The WMS URL is:
https://raster.stream.woolpert.io/ogc/wms?key={API_KEY}
Instructions to add STREAM:RASTER WMS layers in common GIS applications follow:
ArcGIS Online & ArcGIS Enterprise Portal

Map Viewer
These instructions apply to the current ArcGIS Map Viewer. See Map Viewer Classic section for instructions for the old version.
1. In Map Viewer, click the + (Add) button in the toolbar and select Add Layer from URL
2. In the URL field, enter the following:
https://raster.stream.woolpert.io/ogc/wms
3. If it is not automatically determined, from the Type dropdown select WMS(OGC).
4. Click + Add custom parameter. Enter "key" as the Parameter name and enter your STREAM:RASTER API Key in the Value field.
5. Click Next. ArcGIS will then attempt to retrieve your STREAM:RASTER layers.
If you see the following error, check that your URL matches the screenshot above and that the API Key is valid.
6. The next screen will list the layer(s) available in your STREAM:RASTER subscription. Toggle the checkbox next to the layer(s) you want to add. Then click Add to map.
Map Viewer Classic
1. In Map Viewer, click the Add dropdown in the toolbar and select Add Layer from Web
2. From the type of data dropdown, select A WMS OGC Web Service
3. In the URL field enter the following, replacing {API_KEY} with your actual key:
https://raster.stream.woolpert.io/ogc/wms?key={API_KEY}
3. Click Get Layers, then select one or more layers to view by toggling the checkboxes next to them in the Layers table.
4. Click Add Layer to add the WMS layer to your map. You should now see a Stream Raster layer listed in the Content panel, with sub-listings for each of the layers you selected. The data should be visible on the map.

MicroStation
1. From the Attach tab open Raster Manager
2. Click the New dropdown and select WMS...
3. In the Select or add URL for WMS Server field enter the following URL, replacing {API_KEY} with your actual key:
https://raster.stream.woolpert.io/ogc/wms?key={API_KEY}
After adding the URL, press the ENTER key. The Available Layers list should populate along with other server metadata.
4. In the Available Layers list, double-click on each layer you want to add to the map (or select a layer and click Add to map).
The selected layer(s) will be added to the Map Layers list below. When you've finished your selection, click Save and Attach...
5. Select a place to save the WMS definition file (*.xwms). After saving the WMS file, the layers will be added to the map.
💡 MicroStation Tips
- If the coordinate system of your STREAM:RASTER layer(s) does not match your map, make sure to enable local reprojection of the WMS layer(s) by setting the Inherit GeoCS from Model option to "Not Inherited" in Raster Attachment Options
