Static maps (map image)

Web services

Static maps API documentation, available via HTTP-JSON/XML service.

URL base service:

* API KEY. Same KEY used in maps API js

HTTP requests in GET or POST
Response in JSON / XML format

 

You can get a static map using a image path, ore directly a bit array.

The maximum image size is &width=1680&height=1280 (pixels).

Paint markers in the map

Request:

Example:

&cmd=map&ctn=girona&molist=[314323,5129642|ID|6]&img

Where:

  • cmd=map fixed parameter (request type = static map)
  • width=&height= image size (in pixels)
  • mocs=gdd coordinate system (gdd -> geographical lat,long). Optional
  • extent= Y,X upper left|Y,X lower right. Optional
  • molist= list of markers. Format: [Y,X|marker ID (optional)|icon*|],[Y,X|marker ID (optional)|icon*|], ...

*Icons: the icon is specified by an integer numeric code (1,2,3 ...). These icons must be published on the Cercalia platform servers.


Optional:

  • &img= returns the image, instead of a JSON / XML

Response

If request includes &img= paramether, the response is the image (array of bits).

Otherwise, the response is in JSON/XML format, including the path for dowloading the image:

Example:

&cmd=map&width=400&height=300&labelop=0&mocs=gdd&cs=gdd&extent=41.439132726,2.003108336|41.390497829,2.197135455&shape=[255,0,0,128|2|0,255,0,128|CIRCLE|41.439132726,2.003108336|2000],[255,0,0|2|255,0,0|POLYLINE|41.401902461,2.142455003|41.404628181,2.155965665|41.433339308,2.179860852]&img=

Where &shape= paramether include several type of shapes: circle, rectangle, sector, line, polyline, label

Shape format:

[outline color | outline size | fill color | shape type | specific paramethers]

  • outline color: RGBA* format.
  • outline size: in pixels.
  • fill color: RGBA* format.
  • shape type: shape**.
  • specific paramethers: specific parameters according to every type of shape.

* RGBA format (red,green,blue,alpha):

  • Red: [value between 0-255]
  • Green: [value between 0-255]
  • Blue: [value between 0-255]
  • Alpha: transparency [value between 0 (transparent) –255 (opaque)]. Default value: 255.
