API¶
Mapbender provides a REST API through which clients can run several commands.
With the REST API clients can administrate Mapbender without needing to use the web administration interface. The REST API provides commands to get information for example about services and it also provides commands to publish or update services.
Documentation¶
The REST API documentation is integrated in every Mapbender installation and it is publicly available via http://localhost/mapbender/api/doc/
You find examples for each endpoint in the documentation. Please note that you need to login and authorize to run the examples. You also need the right “API” (see ACL).
You can browse through the documentation at the Mapbender demo:
