Upload marker

https://maphub.net/api/1/marker/upload

Markers are custom icons which can be uploaded for points.

This endpoint uploads a PNG image, resizes it to the right size and stores it on the server.

The endpoint returns the marker_id of the uploaded marker, that you need to use when uploading or updating a GeoJSON of map.

When updating the GeoJSON of a map, images and markers are "linked", you do not need to upload them again.

Markers are automatically deleted once they are no longer used in any map.

For this endpoint you'll need to

send the arguments as a JSON encoded string in the MapHub-API-Arg header
send the uploaded file as binary data in the request body

Arguments

file_type (required): currently only supported: png

Response

marker_id: the id of the marker

Limitations

Following limits apply to uploads:

maximum file size 15 MB
maximum processing time 2 minutes

On a MapHub Enterprise server, there are no limits. If you are interested in MapHub Enterprise, contact us.
