Map Layers
APIs for creating, updating, and querying for Spatial Layers and Spatial Objects
The layers created using these APIs are presented to the downstream Public Safety consumers of your data. Examples include Emergency Communication Centers (also known as PSAPs) Monitoring Centers, NOCs, GSOCs, and the like.
RapidSOS has two endpoints with different use cases:
- Dynamic Layers: used for more in-real time scenarios and does not require storage of the objects on the RapidSOS side. Used in conjunction with #2.
- Static Map Layers: involves storage of the objects on the RapidSOS side for referential use cases when alarms are handled in the Intelligent Safety Platform. Can be used independently of #1.
