JavaScript SDK
Use the browser/server JavaScript SDK for collection discovery, item access and safe pagination.
Browser-based GISGeoAI + spatial analyticsSouth African context
GUIDE
Client setup
Configure the API base URL and the appropriate API credential for the target environment. Keep server credentials outside public client bundles.
GUIDE
Capabilities
Use capability discovery to retrieve landing metadata, OGC conformance, collection metadata and SDK version information.
GUIDE
Feature access
Use collection/item helpers for bounded requests, or itemsArray()/forEachItem() for paginated retrieval patterns.
GUIDE
Resilience
The SDK includes bounded retry behaviour for rate limits and selected transient server/network failures; applications should still handle errors explicitly.
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.
