Mapline API Documentation

Explore the possibilities.

  • INTRODUCTION

    Welcome to the Mapline API Reference. This guide explains the Mapline application programming interface (API). It describes various API operations, related request and response structures, and error codes.

    The Mapline API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf clients. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.

    Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about Mapline’s API pricing plans and gaining access to Mapline’s API solutions.

  • API KEYS

    In order to use the Mapline API you will need an API key associated with your account. If you own the account (Account Owner), you can manage API Keys associated with your account in the Profile Dashboard. If you are not the account owner you can use the API key generated by the Account owner for the account to authenticate yourself. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secret.

    ADD API KEY

    Follow the below steps to add an API key to your account:

    1. Click on API Keys button (Available only for Account Owners on and API accessible plan.)
    2. Click On Add API Key Button.
    3. Provide a description and click save to generate a new API Key.
    4. A new, secret API key will be generated.
  • AUTHENTICATION

    You will authenticate your account when using the API by including your account user email and secret API key in the request. The API is authenticated via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your email as the basic auth username value and your API keys as the basic auth password value.

    All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

  • AUTHORIZATION

    The authorization to resources in the API is dependent on the role associated (Owner, Admin, User or Billing Admin) with the Mapline user email provided during authentication. For example, if you try to add a new user on the account while using the API, the request will fail if the authenticated user role is either “admin”, “user”, or “billing admin”. Only the “owner” has authorization to add a new user to the account.

  • USAGE LIMITS

    Api usage limits are calculated on the basis of the number of operations done for each call to Mapline’s API. If the call is for retrieving or deleting an object, the number of calls deducted is always 1. However, for creating or editing an object, the number of calls also depends upon the number of subobjects being referred and the number of operations being performed.

    For example, if the user wants to retrieve a map, then the number of calls deducted is 1 irrespective of how many dataset layers the map might contain or how many locations each dataset layer might contain, but if the user wants to create a new map, with a new dataset containing 5 locations, then the number of api calls counted would be 7 – 1 for creating the map, 5 for creating the dataset with 5 locations, and 1 more for adding the dataset as a layer to the newly created map.

    In case the server encounters any error, only a single call will be counted. However, if the user input is erroneous, then the number of calls will depend upon the number of objects referred, as mentioned before. So, for example, if the user creates a new map with 5 existing datasets as layers, but among those 5, the user has permission over only 3, in that case too, number of calls counted will be 6 – 1 for creating a map, 3 for adding the valid datasets as layers, and 2 for the remaining 2 invalid datasets.

    The API usage limits are calculated on a monthly basis. On the first day of each month, your usage count will reset to zero. Once you have reached your API usage limits, you should receive a 403 error response until the beginning of the next month.

    REQUEST RATE LIMITS

    API request rate limit is defined as the number of requests that can be made to Mapline’s API per second. There is a universal limit of 10 requests per second per account (note that this is not per user on an account). This limit is calculated separately from your API usage limit. Each request Mapline’s API counts towards your API rate limit. The API rate limit is recalculated each second.

    For example, if you were to send 15 requests to Mapline’s API within one second, the first 10 requests would be successful and you will receive a 200 success response. The last 5 requests would receive a 403 error with the message “You have reached your limit of web api request”. You will continue to receive a 403 error message until a full second has lapsed and then your next requests would receive a success 200 response.

  • ERRORS

    Mapline uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in 2xx range indicate success, codes in 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, you reached daily geocoding limit, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicates an error with Mapline’s server (these are rare).

    The Error Object
    Attributes

    429 – Too many requestsToo many requests hit the API too quickly.
    500,502,503,504Something went wrong on Mapline’s end.
  • LIST

    All top-level API resources have support for bulk fetches via “list” API methods. For instance you can list maps, list datasets, and list users. These list API methods share a common structure.

    The List Object
    Attributes
    AttributeTypeDescription
    Objectstring, value is “dataset”
    DataarrayAn array containing the actual response elements, paginated by any request parameters.
    HasMorebooleanWhether or not there are more elements available after this set. If false, this set comprises the end of the list.
  • FILTER

    Filter allows you to configure and save a filter setting on various resources like dataset, views and map layers. The saved filter settings is applied to the resource while viewing inside the mapline application, and does not impact the call requesting a list of resources via the REST API.

    Filter settings are configured using predicates. Mapline provides two different predicate objects to define your filter settings.

    • PredicateList
    • FieldPredicate

    Combination of predicate objects allows you to create more complex filter conditions and supports nested conditions.

    The PREDICATELIST Object

    PredicateList is a collection of predicates (PredicateList or FieldPredicate) and allows you to define a Logical Operator(AND, OR) on them. This is also the root object of our filter settings.

    Attributes
    AttributeTypeDescription
    Allarray, FieldPredicate or PredicateList objectA list of filter predicates where all of the predicates in the list needs to be true.
    Anyarray, FieldPredicate or PredicateList objectA list of filter predicates where any of the predicates in the list needs to be true.
    All and Any are mutually exclusive attributes in a PredicateList, implementing one will automatically rule out the other. If both are provided All will be considered.
    The FieldPredicate Object

    FieldPredicate object allows you to define the filtering conditions on the resource’s data column.

    Attributes
    AttributeTypeDescription
    FieldField objectSpecifies the left hand side filtering condition of the Filter.
    OperatorstringThe type of comparison operator. Can be
    Equal
    NotEqual
    Contain
    NotContain
    BeginWith
    EndWith
    Empty
    NotEmpty
    GreaterThan
    GreaterEqual
    LessThan
    LessThanEqual
    ExpressionExpression objectSpecifies the right hand side filtering condition of the Filter. Not required in case operator is of type Empty and Not Empty
    The Field Object

    Field object allows you to set the left hand side filtering condition of the filter. It allows you to select a field from your data to evaluate the filter condition. It additionally allows you to use a conversion function if the data is of type datetime.

    AttributeTypeDescription
    ColumnIdstringSpecifies the Id of the field of your data on which the filter will be applied.
    ConvertTostring, optionalIf the columnId represents a field with datetime data, ConvertTo allows you to apply an additional date related conversion on data before evaluating the expression. Can be
    Year
    Quarter
    Month
    Date
    WeekOfYear
    DayOfMonth
    DayOfWeek
    Hour
    Minute
    Trimester
    The Expression Object

    Expression object allows you to set the right hand side filtering condition of the filter. Using a combination of the Expression attributes you may be able to set complex filtering conditions like $today + 5 days or Revenue - Expense etc, where Revenue and Expense are fields in your data.

    AttributeTypeDescription
    ColumnIdstringSpecifies the Id of the field of your data on which the filter will be applied.
    Valuestring or arraySpecifies the right hand side value of the predicate. Can be
    string
    list of strings, or
    special strings $today and $now.
    CalculationCalculation object, OptionalCalculation object allows you to provide an additional set of arithmetic calculations on the right hand side. For example, using a calculation object you can specify $today + 5 days in your expression.
    ColumnId and Value are mutually exclusive attributes in an Expression object, implementing one will automatically rule out the other. If both are provided ColumnId will be considered.
    The Calculation Object

    Calculation object allows you to provide an additional set of arithmetic calculations on the right hand side of the filter expression. For example, using a calculation object you can specify expressions like $today + 5 days or Total Sales - Expense in your filter.

    AttributeTypeDescription
    OperatorstringThe type of arithmetic operator to be used in calculation. Can be
    Plus
    Minus
    Multiply
    Divide
    *
    The operator Multiply and Divide is not available if the calculation is date related.
    UnitstringOptional, specifies the type of datetime unit to be used in the calculation. Can be
    Minutes
    Hours
    Days
    Weeks
    Months
    Quarters
    Years
    Trimesters
    ExpressionExpression objectSpecifies additional nested expressions on the right hand side of the filter predicate. Our filter supports a maximum of two levels of nesting of expression object.
