Data - Download Preview

The Download request allows the caller to download data previously uploaded using Data Upload.
Applies to: S1 pricing tier.

This API allows the caller to download a previously uploaded data content.
You can use this API in a scenario like downloading an existing collection of geofences uploaded previously using the Data Upload API for use in our Azure Maps Geofencing Service.

Note

Azure Maps Data service retirement

The Azure Maps Data service (both v1 and v2) is now deprecated and will be retired on 9/16/24. To avoid service disruptions, all calls to the Data service will need to be updated to use the Azure Maps Data Registry service by 9/16/24. For more information, see How to create data registry.

Submit Download Request

To download your content you will use a GET request where the path will contain the udid of the data to download. Optionally, you can also pass in an Accept header to specify a preference for the Content-Type of the data response.
For example, to download a collection of geofences previously uploaded using the Upload API, set the udid parameter in the path to the udid of the data received previously in the upload API response and set the Accept header to either one of the following media types:

  • application/json
  • application/vnd.geo+json
  • application/octet-stream

Download Data Response

The Download API will return a HTTP 200 OK response if the data resource with the passed-in udid is found, where the response body will contain the content of the data resource.
A HTTP 400 Bad Request error response will be returned if the data resource with the passed-in udid is not found.

Here's a sample response body for a simple geofence represented in GeoJSON uploaded previously using the Upload API:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [{
        "type": "Feature",
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [-122.126986, 47.639754]
        },
        "properties": {
            "geometryId": "001",
            "radius": 500
        }
    }]
}
GET https://{geography}.atlas.microsoft.com/mapData/{udid}?api-version=1.0

Security

AADToken

These are the Microsoft Entra OAuth 2.0 Flows. When paired with Azure role-based access control it can be used to control access to Azure Maps REST APIs. Azure role-based access controls are used to designate access to one or more Azure Maps resource account or sub-resources. Any user, group, or service principal can be granted access via a built-in role or a custom role composed of one or more permissions to Azure Maps REST APIs.

To implement scenarios, we recommend viewing authentication concepts. In summary, this security definition provides a solution for modeling application(s) via objects capable of access control on specific APIs and scopes.

Notes

  • This security definition requires the use of the x-ms-client-id header to indicate which Azure Maps resource the application is requesting access to. This can be acquired from the Maps management API.

The Authorization URL is specific to the Azure public cloud instance. Sovereign clouds have unique Authorization URLs and Microsoft Entra ID configurations. * The Azure role-based access control is configured from the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs. * Usage of the Azure Maps Web SDK allows for configuration based setup of an application for multiple use cases.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit
Authorization URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize

Name Description

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when you Create an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal or using PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST API.

With this key, any application can access all REST API. In other words, this key can be used as a master key in the account that they are issued in.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use the confidential client applications approach to access Azure Maps REST APIs so your key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey
In: query

SAS Token

This is a shared access signature token is created from the List SAS operation on the Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this token, any application is authorized to access with Azure role-based access controls and fine-grain control to the expiration, rate, and region(s) of use for the particular token. In other words, the SAS Token can be used to allow applications to control access in a more secured way than the shared key.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to configure a specific list of allowed origins on the Map account resource to limit rendering abuse and regularly renew the SAS Token.

Type: apiKey
