INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Mapline API Reference. This guide explains the Mapline application programming interface (API). It describes various API operations, related request and response structures, and error codes.

The Mapline API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf clients. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.

Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about Mapline’s API pricing plans and gaining access to Mapline’s API solutions.

API KEYS

In order to use the Mapline API you will need an API key associated with your account. If you own the account (Account Owner), you can manage API Keys associated with your account in the Profile Dashboard. If you are not the account owner you can use the API key generated by the Account owner for the account to authenticate yourself. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secret.

ADD API KEY

Follow the below steps to add an API key to your account:

Click on API Keys button (Available only for Account Owners on an API accessible plan.)
Click On Add API Key Button.
Provide a description and click save to generate a new API Key.
A new, secret API key will be generated.

AUTHENTICATION

You will authenticate your account when using the API by including your account user email and secret API key in the request. The API is authenticated via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your email as the basic auth username value and your API keys as the basic auth password value.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

AUTHORIZATION

The authorization to resources in the API is dependent on the role associated (Owner, Admin, User or Billing Admin) with the Mapline user email provided during authentication. For example, if you try to add a new user on the account while using the API, the request will fail if the authenticated user role is either “admin”, “user”, or “billing admin”. Only the “owner” has authorization to add a new user to the account.

USAGE LIMITS

API usage limits are calculated on the basis of the number of operations done for each call to Mapline’s API. If the call is for retrieving or deleting an object, the number of calls deducted is always 1. However, for creating or editing an object, the number of calls also depends upon the number of subobjects being referred and the number of operations being performed.

For example, if the user wants to retrieve a map, then the number of calls deducted is 1 irrespective of how many dataset layers the map might contain or how many locations each dataset layer might contain, but if the user wants to create a new map, with a new dataset containing 5 locations, then the number of api calls counted would be 7 – 1 for creating the map, 5 for creating the dataset with 5 locations, and 1 more for adding the dataset as a layer to the newly created map.

In case the server encounters any error, only a single call will be counted. However, if the user input is erroneous, then the number of calls will depend upon the number of objects referred, as mentioned before. So, for example, if the user creates a new map with 5 existing datasets as layers, but among those 5, the user has permission over only 3, in that case too, number of calls counted will be 6 – 1 for creating a map, 3 for adding the valid datasets as layers, and 2 for the remaining 2 invalid datasets.

The API usage limits are calculated on a monthly basis. On the first day of each month, your usage count will reset to zero. Once you have reached your API usage limits, you should receive a 403 error response until the beginning of the next month.

REQUEST RATE LIMITS

API request rate limit is defined as the number of requests that can be made to Mapline’s API per second. There is a universal limit of 10 requests per second per account (note that this is not per user on an account). This limit is calculated separately from your API usage limit. Each request Mapline’s API counts towards your API rate limit. The API rate limit is recalculated each second.

For example, if you were to send 15 requests to Mapline’s API within one second, the first 10 requests would be successful and you will receive a 200 success response. The last 5 requests would receive a 403 error with the message “You have reached your limit of web api request”. You will continue to receive a 403 error message until a full second has lapsed and then your next requests would receive a success 200 response.

ERRORS

Mapline uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in 2xx range indicate success, codes in 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, you reached daily geocoding limit, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicates an error with Mapline’s server (these are rare).

The Error Object

Attributes

ATTRIBUTES	TYPE	REQUIRED	DESCRIPTION

`UserAccessDenied`	The user doesn’t have access to the requested resource.
`RateLimitError`	Rate Limit error arises when you have hit any of the limits associated with your account. For example, too many requests hit the API too quickly or you have reached the daily geocoding limit, etc.
