Map Service API

The Map Service API allows you to retrieve WMS and WFS generated by the platform. You can use some libraries like Leaflet or MapLibre GL for JavaScript, Android or iOS to add a map to your website.

Endpoint to use

If you need WFS URL, you should use this endpoint. We are supporting both WMS and WFS.

https://data.tabaqat.net/geoserver/wfs?access_token=your-tabaqat-access-token&AcceptLanguages=en&request=GetCapabilities
  • map service type: you can set the map service to WFS or WMS.
  • authentication token: create your access token on the platform.
  • language: you can choose Arabic language or English language by setting this value to en for English or ar for Arabic.

A new window opens with settings to configure:
