Ellipsis Drive

Ellipsis Drive is a cloud-native spatial data management platform that lets teams upload, store, process, share, and serve raster, vector, and 3D point-cloud geospatial data through a single interoperable interface. Uploaded files are automatically processed into high-performance Tile Pyramid Archives (rasters) and Paged Vector Tiles (vectors) and served through standard OGC protocols (WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS, XYZ, and vector tiles) alongside a REST API v3 with Bearer-token and OAuth2 authorization. Official SDKs and integrations cover Python, R, and JavaScript, plus plugins for QGIS, ArcGIS (JS, Pro, and Server), Mapbox GL, Leaflet, React-Leaflet, and Power BI. The platform offers storage-based pricing, license-free data sharing and consumption, subscriptions for selling spatial data, and both instant SaaS and private self-hosted deployments.

Ellipsis Drive publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Geospatial, Spatial Data, GIS, and Mapping.

Ellipsis Drive’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 14 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ellipsis-drive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
