API Documentation

The Public Mapping API is used to obtain the required mapping data. It returns a REST endpoint that can be used with the Esri JavaScript API to create a map service in your web application.

API Calls

There are currently two map endpoints available, one for Jersey and one for Guernsey.

• Jersey:https://publicmapping.digimap.je/API/JerseyPublic/Map?APIKey=[YourKey]
• Guernsey:https://publicmapping.digimap.je/API/GuernseyPublic/Map?APIKey=[YourKey]

These calls return a JSON formatted document containing the following fields.

• code:HTTP style response code, should be 200 for a successful request
• result:Plain text response, usually the name of the map or the error if code is not 200.
• mapService:The REST endpoint for the requested mapping data (only on a successful request).
• expires:How long the mapping data link is valid for in seconds (only on a successful request).

Your web application should perform a request and then use the returned REST endpoint to create a map service using the Esri JavaScript API.
