Data - Upload Preview

Reference

Service:: Maps

API Version:: 1.0

The Upload request allows the caller to upload data content to their Azure Maps account.
Applies to: S1 pricing tier.

The Data Upload API allows the caller to upload data content to the Azure Maps service. You can use this API in a scenario like uploading a collection of Geofences in GeoJSON format, 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 Upload Request

To upload your content you will use a POST request. The request body will contain the data to upload. The Content-Type header will be set to the content type of the data.

For example, to upload a collection of geofences in GeoJSON format, set the request body to the geofence content. Set the dataFormat query parameter to geojson, and set the Content-Type header to either one of the following media types:

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

Here's a sample request body for uploading a simple Geofence represented as a circle geometry using a center point and a radius. The sample below is in GeoJSON:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [{
        "type": "Feature",
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [-122.126986, 47.639754]
        },
        "properties": {
            "geometryId": "001",
            "radius": 500
        }
    }]
}

The Data Upload API performs a long-running operation.

Data Upload Limits

Please, be aware that currently every Azure Maps account has a data storage limit. Once the storage limit is reached, all the new upload API calls will return a 409 Conflict http error response. You can always use the Data Delete API to delete old/unused content and create space for new uploads.

POST https://{geography}.atlas.microsoft.com/mapData/upload?api-version=1.0&dataFormat={dataFormat}

With optional parameters:

POST https://{geography}.atlas.microsoft.com/mapData/upload?subscription-key={subscription-key}&api-version=1.0&dataFormat={dataFormat}

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.

For more information on Microsoft identity platform, see Microsoft identity platform overview.

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

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.
