How to retrieve spatial data from APIs, the no code way

This blog discusses the use of APIs in retrieving spatial data. It explains that APIs are essential components of Modern Geospatial Tech Stack and allow for faster, more seamless, and scalable data sharing. REST APIs have become the industry standard for retrieving, sharing, and managing spatial data due to their simplicity, statelessness, scalability, interoperability, and wide adoption. However, challenges include complexity, rate limits, reliability issues, and versioning problems. The blog provides a step-by-step guide on how to retrieve spatial data using APIs, including selecting an API, reading its documentation, constructing a URL with parameters, integrating the data into spatial analysis or mapping tools, and handling potential challenges.
