4M Analytics

4M WFS API

The 4M WFS API is an OGC Web Feature Service that streams 4M's validated subsurface utility data (line and point features) in real time into GIS platforms such as ArcGIS and QGIS, eliminating manual file downloads. Access is admin-gated: an organization admin requests access from their 4M Customer Success Manager, then generates an API key from within the 4Map application (initials menu, "Generate API Key"), optionally naming the link, setting an expiration, and choosing a data scope (all projects or a single folder). Generating the key returns a WFS endpoint URL for direct use in the GIS client. The base host and per-key endpoint are provisioned per organization and are not publicly published, so no fabricated baseURL is recorded here.
