I want to map the geographic extents / bounding boxes of a lot of EPSG CRSes. At least, those with a rectangular geographic extent.
For example, take epsg:2004, visiting that page shows the extent (both projected and geographic).
There are several sites with this info, which make it trivial to find the extent for a single CRS at a time
Online queries (to an API or web service) would be good too.
Other things I've looked at:-

- spatialreference.org
- epsg.io, including via the QGIS "EPSG CRS" Plugin
- epsg-registry, in the 'Area of Use' results.
Online queries (to an API or web service) would be good too.
Other things I've looked at:-
- I don't see anything in the QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem class for this, so I assume that qgis doesn't do any bounds checking and throws all the points at proj4, which will complain (with a "forward projection failure") if any points fall outside the valid bounds.
- Also, pyproj (the python wrapper for proj4) doesn't seem to be able to extract this info, it's really just for transforming between CRSes.
