REST API

The GeoIQ REST API has methods to perform all of the actions available in the GeoIQ GUI, but with greater granularity. Create maps of any color scheme you desire, update datasets in real-time and set user permissions. This is all accomplished through creates, reads, updates or deletes (CRUD) to various endpoints through HTTP methods.

As an overview of what is possible with the API, after reading the documentation you will be able to:

• Upload a desktop file or register a URL
• Modify dataset metadata such as source, description and tags
• Search and download any dataset in a number of formats
• Query the dataset based on spatial, numeric, and string attributes
• Create or Modify dataset features
• Create a new map with layers and styling
• Download the map
• Create new users and groups
• Set access permissions to data and maps to a user or groups

Beyond just this REST API, the GeoIQ Javascript API allows you to integrate new functionality with created maps in web applications. You can combine the REST API with the Javascript API create full data visualization web applications with GeoIQ.
