DEVELOPER DOCUMENTATION

Getting Started with the Developer Platform

Set up a developer app profile, publish a collection and choose a browser or server integration pattern.

Browser-based GISGeoAI + spatial analyticsSouth African context
GUIDE

Before you begin

Use a modern browser, sign in to GeoLayers and create or open a project. Cloud project features require an internet connection.

GUIDE

Create a project

Start from the Projects page, create a named project and confirm the project opens in Studio. The workspace keeps map state, layers and project context together.

GUIDE

Add data

Use Add Data or Data Manager to bring compatible vector/raster sources into the project. Inspect layer names, geometry and fields before analysis.

GUIDE

Choose a workflow

Use the main ribbon for common GIS actions and Apps for specialist modules such as GeoAI, Earth Observation, GeoML, Mobility, Digital Twins and Automation.

IMPLEMENTATION CHECKLIST

Before you move to production

Use this checklist to reduce avoidable integration problems.

  • Test the workflow with a small, known dataset before increasing scale.
  • Keep production credentials outside public source code and downloadable configuration files.
  • Handle network, validation and rate-limit errors explicitly in the client or service.
  • Record the collection, endpoint, version or workflow configuration used so the integration can be reproduced.
