OGC API- Tiles

The OGC API — Tiles standard helps you create Web APIs that can retrieve geospatial information as tiles. Different forms of geospatial information are supported, such as tiles of vector features (“vector tiles”), coverages, maps (or imagery) etc.

More information is available on the OGC API- Tiles page here

Options are available inside a GeognoSIS instance to :

  • Grant privileges
  • View the map being used by the service
  • Access API documentation

Click Edit on an instance and select Web Services > OGC > OGC API- Tiles.

Options

To define API privileges, click Options > Privileges. Because Tiles are image-based, you can only read the content. Select desired users/groups from the drop-down menu.
