The GeoData Retriever Agent is a plugin integration of an autonomous GIS agent for geospatial data retrieval and QGIS. This plugin simplifies the process of retrieving and loading geospatial data into the QGIS environment through natural language commands. It leverages LLM-Find, an autonomous framework designed to select and fetch geospatial data by generating and executing programs with self-debugging capabilities. For more details on the framework, please refer to our preprint manuscript: Huan Ning, Zhenlong Li, Temitope Akinboyewa, and M. Naser Lessani. 2024. “An Autonomous GIS Agent Framework for Geospatial Data Retrieval.” arXiv. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2407.21024.

After the installation of the plugin, you need to install the "nest_asyncio" manually. Follow the steps below:
-
Open the QGIS Python Console by navigating to
Plugins>Python Consoleor pressCtrl+Alt+P -
In the console, run these two lines of code:
import pip pip.main(['install', 'nest-asyncio'])
-
If you encounter any issue you can also try installing "nest_asyncio" via the terminal by pointing to QGIS python interpreter:
/Applications/QGIS3.38.1.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3 -m pip install nest_asyncio
