Simple API Services

Creating a Simple service

To create a Simple API service:

Click the Integrations, API Services tab.
From the Choose API Key drop-down, select the application for which you want to create a simple service. Note that API keys are not displayed in this list, but the applications for which you have created API keys.
From the Choose integration type drop-down, select the option that you wish to use for accessing Nearmap imagery - WMS or Google Earth. A URL for the service is generated.
Click COPY LINK to copy the URL to the Clipboard.
Paste the URL to access the imagery.

The simple URL structure looks like this: https://api.nearmap.com/wms/v1/latest/apikey/<APIKEY>

To test this URL, you need to use https://api.nearmap.com/wms/v1/latest/apikey/APIKEY?request=getCapabilities.
https://api.nearmap.com/super-overlays/v1/<APIKEY>

The Simple Service displays the following layers:

Nearmap WMS - the combination of all the latest imagery of all the regions to which the user has access, overlaid on a satellite basemap
Nearmap - the combination of all the latest imagery of all the regions to which the user has access
Country Latest - the latest imagery for that country, without the satellite background
Satellite - just the satellite imagery (NASA Blue Marble circa 2004)
