Query Tracks by Envelope
The GeoView Server REST API enables querying tracks recordings by envelope. Spatial query filters feature data store by specified rectangle, returning any tracks recordings contained in it based on specified coordinate system and resulting data format. Accessing this method requires Read permissions.
Request API method URI definition:
HTTP GET http://api.geoview.be/geoservice/v1/tracks/envelope
Request HTTP URI parameters:
Parameter |
Description |
token |
Access token (returned by this API method). |
minx |
Minimum X-axis ordinate value (longitude value in WGS84). |
miny |
Minimum Y-axis ordinate value (latitude value in WGS84). |
maxx |
Maximum X-axis ordinate value (longitude value in WGS84). |
maxy |
Maximum Y-axis ordinate value (latitude value in WGS84). |
srs |
Spatial reference system identifier (returned by this API method), being an |
maxcnt |
Maximum number of records to return. This parameter is optional. If omitted, returns all records within given scope. |
filter |
If 1, then data returned is being filtered using filtering parameters returned by this API method. If 0 or omitted, no data filtering will take place and all results will be returned. Assuming filtering is on, filtering parameter values should be added to the URI parameters above. |
zoom |
Current map's zoom scale (0 = min. zoom, i.e. whole world). |

400 |
API request failed due to wrong parameter value(s). |
401 |
Supplied API request access token not valid. |
