Request Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
start|s | Base point. Object identifier or geometry in WKT format with no more than 250 vertices. For points, a simplified lng,lat format can be used. For lines and polygons, the centroid is calculated. |
azimut|a | Azimuth (directional angle) in degrees. |
distance|d | Distance in meters. |
format | Data format (json, csv). |
Response
The response returns a GeoJSON object describing the calculated point. Response schema.
