DEVELOPER DOCUMENTATION

Developer Platform Limits

Understand rate limits, collection limits and browser execution boundaries.

GUIDE

Why limits exist

GeoLayers intentionally bounds browser-side analysis, automation and API requests so the interface stays responsive and users can understand the scale of the operation.

GUIDE

Automation

Spatial Automation currently bounds workflow count, step count, history size, source feature count, webhook payload size and minimum interval.

GUIDE

Developer access

Public APIs apply request/feature limits and rate controls. Integrations should page through data instead of assuming a single unlimited response.

GUIDE

Analytical modules

Specialist modules such as Earth Observation, GeoML and Mobility also use browser-appropriate limits; large production workloads may require preprocessing or server-side execution.

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.
