EasyGIS API

The EasyGIS API is developed to enable the use of EasyGIS module as a widget in an external webpage. Usage of the EasyGIS API requires an API key. A key can be requested via info@easygis.eu.

1. General

To load the EasyGIS API, place the following code in the body of your html document, preferably directly before the </body>.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.easygis.eu/js/latest.js">

2. Modules

With the EasyGIS API it is possible to load different modules. This can be done using JavaScript by calling easygis.loadModule() after loading the API. The function easygis.loadModule() requires a single argument - consisting of an object - which determines the desired configuration. The following properties are required:

key is the API-key provided by EasyGIS;
module determines which module to load;
target is the id of the HTML element into which the module should be loaded.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  ...
</head>
<body>
  ...
  <div id="show-me-here"></div>
  ...
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.easygis.eu/js/latest.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    easygis.loadModule({
      key: 'ah5lf345yt274q2r234dq3464g563qy',
      module: easygis.Module.MODULE,
      target: 'show-me-here'
    });
  </script>
 </body>
</html>
