REST & OpenAPI
Describe resources, requests, responses, errors, and versions consistently.
Interface design
Built for explicit contracts
Geospatial formats
Exchange GeoJSON, map layers, and tiles with explicit coordinate references.
Access controls
Use environment-specific credentials, authorization, logging, and rotation.
Operational limits
Define pagination, rate limits, retries, timeouts, and service expectations.
Pilot path
Integrate in controlled stages
- 01
Scope
Define data authority, use case, users, volumes, and service expectations.
- 02
Sandbox
Test authentication, schemas, error handling, and representative records.
- 03
Review
Validate security, privacy, performance, monitoring, and human decision points.
- 04
Operate
Promote deliberately with versioning, support, and rollback procedures.
Security and interoperability
API design follows established web and geospatial patterns, while each pilot defines its own approved data contract and controls.
- Use least-privilege credentials and separate environments.
- Version contracts and document rate limits and errors.
- Validate GeoJSON geometry and coordinate reference assumptions.
