Partially Update Features in Space

This request contains only the feature properties you want to add, update or delete.

  • If the property does not yet exist in the latest version of the feature it is added.
  • If the property has another value of the latest version of the feature it is updated to the value in the request
  • If the property value is null in the request, the property is deleted from the feature object

Request

Try in your local Swagger

PATCH /spaces/{spaceId}/features?id={featureId1},{featureId2},{featureId3}

A PATCH request needs something like the following body

{
    "type": "Feature",
    "id": "string",
    "geometry":
    {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "properties":
    {
       "@ns:com:here:xyz":
       {}
    },
    "bbox":
    [
      -100.1,
      -1.1,
      100.1,
      1.1
    ]
}

Response

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features":
  [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "id": "BfiimUxHjj",
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": [
          -2.960847,
          53.430828
        ]
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "Anfield",
        "@ns:com:here:xyz": {
          "createdAt": 1517504700726,
          "updatedAt": 1517504700726,
          "space": "x-demospace",
          "tags": [
            "football",
            "stadium"
          ]
        },
        "amenity": "Football Stadium",
        "capacity": 54074,
        "popupContent": "Home of Liverpool Football Club"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Validation Errors

If you are using the validation feature, you sometimes will get an error message when uploading or modifying features, such as the following:

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  ...
  "features": [],
  "failed": [
    {
      "id": null,
      "position": 0,
      "message": "Feature on position 0 has JSON schema validations errors/warnings.\n[[1,151][/properties] The object must have a property whose name is \"city\"., [1,151][/properties] The object must have a property whose name is \"employees\"., [1,151][/properties] The object must have a property whose name is \"name\"., [1,151][/properties] The object must have a property whose name is \"country\".]"
    }
  ]
}

The failed property contains all the features that schema validation rejected.
The id is the id you sent. If you did not send one, the id will be null as in the example.
Position is the position (zero-based) in the uploaded feature collection.
The message contains the schema validation errors with a detailed description of what does not confirm to your schema.

Search a Space for Features

There are two ways of searching a space. /search is one, the other is /iterate. This does not order the results and it does not enable you to continue the search.

Request

Try in your local Swagger

GET /spaces/{spaceId}/search

Response

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features":
    [
      {
        "type": "Feature",
        "id": "BfiimUxHjj",
        "geometry":
        {
          "type": "Point",
          "coordinates":
          [
            -2.960847,
            53.430828
          ]
        },
        "properties":
        {
          "name": "Anfield",
          "@ns:com:here:xyz":
          {
            "createdAt": 1517504700726,
            "updatedAt": 1517504700726,
            "space": "x-demospace",
            "tags":
            [
              "football",
              "stadium"
            ]
          },
          "amenity": "Football Stadium",
          "capacity": 54074,
          "popupContent": "Home of Liverpool Football Club"
        }
      }
    ]
}

Iterate Features from Specific Spaces

This is the second way to search a space (the other is /search). Iterate allows you to iterate over all the matching features with the handle handle as a query parameter

Request

Try in your local Swagger

GET /spaces/{spaceId}/iterate

Response

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features":
    [
      {
        "type": "Feature",
        "id": "BfiimUxHjj",
        "geometry":
        {
          "type": "Point",
          "coordinates":
          [
            -2.960847,
            53.430828
          ]
        },
        "properties":
        {
          "name": "Anfield",
          "@ns:com:here:xyz":
          {
            "createdAt": 1517504700726,
            "updatedAt": 1517504700726,
            "space": "x-demospace",
            "tags":
            [
              "football",
              "stadium"
            ]
           },
           "amenity": "Football Stadium",
           "capacity": 54074,
           "popupContent": "Home of Liverpool Football Club"
          }
      }
  ]
}

Delete Multiple Features

You can remove specific features by sending this request with their feature IDs

Request

Try in your local Swagger

DELETE /spaces/{spaceId}/features?id={id1},{id2}

Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
