GIS REST Services

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) REST services are a type of map service that allows for a greater sharing of data. REST Services provide an open way for web clients to communicate with GIS servers. Clients issue requests to the server through structured URLs. The server responds with map images, text-based geographic information, or other resources that satisfy the request.
