Check our docs to see what URLs are supported.
The /upload endpoint can be used for both URL and file uploads:
For URL uploads, simply making a single POST request to the upload endpoint is enough
For file uploads, the response of the initial POST request will include a target URL and some pre-signed attributes, which will be used to upload the new file to Amazon S3.
This endpoint is used to create a layer, and obtain a pre-signed url to upload the layer files to S3.
Uploading a file is a single function call using the felt-python library.
Layer files aren’t uploaded directly to the Felt API. Instead, they are uploaded by your client directly to an S3 bucket.
You will receive a single set of URL and pre-signed params to upload the file. Only a single file may be uploaded — if you wish to upload several files at once, consider wrapping them in a zip file.
To upload the file using the pre-signed params, you must perform a multipart upload, and include the file contents in the file field:
Refreshing a file is a single function call using the felt-python library.
After uploading a file or URL, you may want to update the resulting layer with some new data. The process is quite similar to the above:
For URL uploads, simply making a single POST request to the refresh endpoint is enough
For file uploads, the response of the initial POST request will include a URL and some presigned attributes, which will be used to upload the new file to Amazon S3. See Uploading the file to Amazon S3 for more details.
A layer's style may be updated by providing a new Felt Style Language object. Learn more in the guide:
Get the details of all the layer on the map that are not within a layer group.
Get the details of a single layer on the map. These details include:
Name of the layer
Upload status and progress
Style, expressed in the Felt Style Language
Other metadata, such as the geometry type, visibility state in the legend, etc
Update a layer's name or move it into or out of a layer group.
To move a layer into a group, set the layer_group_id to the id of the layer group you want to move the layer into. To move a layer out of a group, set the layer_group_id to null.
Provide an array of layer group objects to create new groups or update existing ones.
For each layer group object, including an existing ID will result in the group's details (name, subtitle and legend order) being updated. If no layer group ID is provided (or a non-existent one is provided), a new layer group will be created.
List all layers in your workspace's Library
Publish a layer to your workspace's library
Publish a layer group to your workspace's library
Get a link to export a layer as a GeoPackage (vector layers) or GeoTIFF (raster layers)
Create an export request of a layer as a GeoPackage, GeoJSON, or CSV. Optionally include filters with the layer. Export requests are asynchronous. A successful response will return a poll_endpoint to check the status of the export.
Check the status of an Custom Export. If successful, the response will include a download_url
