Summary

This module is a hub connecting your app users over a Google Map. It stores GPS locations and other data and allows users to literally ‘see’ each other on the map and engage with other local users and objects.

  • Stores locations, online/offline flags, status messages for each user;
  • Allows easily calculation of distance (‘miles away’) and shows directions to users and objects;
  • Stores history of locations and movements (can also be used in corporate apps for tracking transport, etc);
  • Supports POIs (buildings, attractions, places of events, check-in places);
  • Manages users, POIs and stats via web-based admin panel of the module.

Retrieve geodata

Retrieve all (by default) geodata for current application. The ID of the application is taken from the token which is specified in the request

Filters

The request can contain all, some or none of these parameters. If this option is set, its value - the object to validate. Filters require an exact match property values ​​with an instance of the corresponding parameter value.

Param Required Type Value Example Description
created_at No Timestamp 1326471371 Time of created instance of geodata. When specified, it will return only instances created at 'created_at' time, or none - in which case it returns an empty array.
user.id No Integer 322 User id. When specified, it will return only the instances created by API User with id = user.id, or none - in which case it returns an empty array.
user.ids No Integer 322,23,5 Users' IDs. When specified, it return only the instances created by API Users with ids = user.ids, or none - in which case it returns an empty array.
user.name No String flo Substring. Search for API Users full_name and login fields. When specified, it will return only the instances created by API Users who have in login or full_name passed substring, or none - in which case it returns an empty array.
user.external_ids No Integer 132,45,577 External user IDs. When specified, it return only the instances created by API Users with external_ids = user.external_ids, or none - in which case it returns an empty array.


Diapasons

The request can contain all, some or none of these parameters. If this option is set, its value - the object to validate. Ranges suggest putting into the range of values ​​of the properties of the instance.

Param Required Type Value Example Description
min_created_at No Unix timestamp 1326471371 Min value of created_at. If this parameter is specified, must return instances with created_at greater than or equal to a given value.
max_created_at No Unix timestamp 1196473372 Max value of created_at. If this parameter is specified, must return instances with created_at less than or equal to a given value.
geo_rect No GeoRect 47%3B55%3B-103%3B54 GeoRect. If this parameter is correct, must return instances with coordinates that fall within the rectangle and its border. You need two points to build a rectangle (first point -- South West, second -- North East). Coordinates, specified in the request, should be in this order: latitude1;longitude1;latitude2;longitude2. Use '%3B' instead ';'.
radius No Unsigned Integer 15 With 'current_position' describes GeoCircle - "circle" on the earth's surface, given the coordinates 'current_position' and this distance in meters (radius).


Sort

In the query as the value of sorting can be any of these parameters or nothing. The presence of other parameters ​​- validation error.
Parameter name: sort_by.
Sort Order: Descending, if missing parameter 'sort_asc'.

Param Required Type Value Example Description
created_at No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) Values ​​should be sorted by date.
latitude No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) Values ​​should be sorted by latitude.
longitude No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) Values ​​should be sorted by longitude.
distance No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) Values ​​should be sorted by the distance from the 'current_position' (is a required parameter in the request)


Paginal conclusion

The request can contain all, some or none of these parameters.

Param Required Type Value Example Description
page No Unsigned Integer 3 Page number of the book of the results that you want to get. By default: 1
per_page No Unsigned Integer 15 The maximum number of results per page. Min: 1. Max: 100. By default: 10


Additional keys

Used for special features.

Param Required Type Value Example Description
last_only No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) The result will only include the last time data. For example, if the query is filtered by user.id parameter and flag last_only is set, we get an instance - the most recent by created_at for this user, its last known position.
status No Integer 1 (all other values ​​cause an error validation) The result will only include instances that have a non-empty 'status' field.
current_position No GeoPoint 1%3B2 The current position of the user. Used only in conjunction with the keys 'radius' (Diapasons) and 'distance' (Sort). If this option is specified, and it does not set any of these parameters - error validation. Use '%3B' instead ';'.
sort_asc No Integer 1 (all other values ​​as well as the presence of this key parameter without 'sort_by' ​​cause an error validation) Indicates that the sorting should be by ascending. If this parameter is not set - the sort is by descending.
