MapsOnline API

Brief description

This API accesses QLD Government's MapsOnline automated reporting service for maps and reports. Spatially-referenced information for the nominated location is integrated, summarised, and delivered via the specified email address once processed. There are supporting functions that retrieve the available report and feature types.

The primary **request report** function has separate GET and POST end points:

**GET**
https://mapsonline.information.qld.gov.au/service/environment/resource/MapsOnline/1/http/rest/request


**POST**
https://mapsonline.information.qld.gov.au/service/environment/resource/MapsOnline/1/http/rest/requestPost


** Parameters:**

- **reportType**: any type in [getReportTypes](https://mapsonline.information.qld.gov.au/service/environment/resource/MapsOnline/1/http/rest/getReportTypes)

- **featureType**: any type in [getFeatureTypes](https://mapsonline.information.qld.gov.au/service/environment/resource/MapsOnline/1/http/rest/getFeatureTypes)

- **features**: any valid feature, e.g. a coordinate as -27,150, a lot plan as 1,RP1 or GeoJson. Geometries must fall within Queensland and have a total bounding box of less than 200,000km2. Multiple pipe seperated features can be included in a single request, e.g. -27,150|-26,149|-23,148
