WebGIS API

The WebGIS API is the heart of the WebGIS platform and offers powerful interfaces for accessing and interacting with map services. It provides a REST API through which users can request map and geodata. In addition, a Javascript API is also offered, which wraps the REST API calls and thus enables simplified integration into browser-based applications.

Main Functions of the WebGIS API:

• REST API for retrieving map services and geodata.

• Javascript API for the simple development of browser-based applications.

• Provision of map services based on configurations from the WebGIS CMS.

• Support for queries and visualizations of geodata.

• Flexibility for developers to create their own map applications and services.

Via the WebGIS API, map applications with various functions such as layers, queries, and geographic measurements can be built. It is the central interface for developers who want to build custom WebGIS applications.

Using the WebGIS API:

• Developers who work with geodata and want to build their own web applications use the REST API or Javascript API.

• Administrators can use the API to define and adjust map services and their parameters via the WebGIS CMS.

• Through the XML files generated by the CMS, various map services and topics can be quickly configured and made available via the API.

Further details on the Javascript API can be found in the comprehensive documentation at (https://docs.webgiscloud.com/dev/index.html).
