“How do I fetch a list of features by ID from an interactive map layer?”

“What comes back if none of the feature IDs exist?”

Tell an agent

Get features {ids} from layer {layer_id}.

Fetch features {ids} from layer {layer_id} at version {version_ref}.

GET /layers/{layerId}/features/{featureId} Get one map feature by ID · Get a feature by ID #

Ask an LLM

“Is it possible to read an older version of one feature?”

Tell an agent

Get feature {feature_id} from layer {layer_id}.

Ask an LLM

“What statistics can I see about an interactive map layer?”

“Can I bypass the cache when reading layer statistics?”

GET /layers/{layerId}/spatial Find map features within a radius of a point · Get features with radius search #

Ask an LLM

“Which features are within 500 meters of a coordinate?”

“Can I search around an existing feature or an H3 cell instead of a lat/lng?”

Tell an agent

Find features in layer {layer_id} within {radius} meters of {lat},{lng}.

Find features in layer {layer_id} near H3 cell {h3_index}.

POST /layers/{layerId}/spatial Find map features intersecting a posted geometry · Get features which intersects the provided geometry #

Ask an LLM

“Can I send my own polygon and get back the features it intersects?”

“How do I query features against a custom geometry in the request body?”

Tell an agent

Find features in layer {layer_id} intersecting a {geometry_type} geometry I send.

Return features in layer {layer_id} within {radius} of my posted {geometry_type} geometry.

GET /layers/{layerId}/search Search a map layer's features by property · Search for features #

Ask an LLM

“Can I search features by their property values in a layer?”

“Are search results ordered or resumable?”
