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.
