Wayfinding - Get Path

Reference

Service:: Maps Creator

API Version:: 2023-03-01-preview

Use to calculate the best path between two locations within a facility.

The Wayfinding Service is part of Creator, and adheres to the Open Geospatial Consortium standard. Wayfinding uses indoor map data from the routeset to calculate the best path between two locations within the same facility. For more information, see Wayfinding in the Creator for indoor maps concepts article.

GET https:///wayfinding/path?api-version=2023-03-01-preview&routesetId={routesetId}&facilityId={facilityId}&fromPoint={fromPoint}&fromLevel={fromLevel}&toPoint={toPoint}&toLevel={toLevel}

With optional parameters:

GET https:///wayfinding/path?api-version=2023-03-01-preview&routesetId={routesetId}&facilityId={facilityId}&fromPoint={fromPoint}&fromLevel={fromLevel}&toPoint={toPoint}&toLevel={toLevel}&avoidFeatures={avoidFeatures}&minWidth={minWidth}

URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
api-version	query	True	string	Version number of Azure Maps API.
facilityId	query	True	string	The identifier of the facility within the routeset where to find the path.
fromLevel	query	True	integer int32	The path origin level.
fromPoint	query	True	string	The path origin point in the following format: {latitude},{longitude}.
routesetId	query	True	string	The ID of the routeset to query from.
toLevel	query	True	integer int32	The path destination level.
toPoint	query	True	string	The path destination in the following format: {latitude},{longitude}.
avoidFeatures	query		avoidFeatures[]	To avoid certain types of connectors in the resulting path. Multiple values can be specified.
minWidth	query		number	The minimum width (in meters) of openings in the searched path. For example, if you specified a minimum width of 0.85, the searched path will avoid openings less than 85 centimeters wide. Note: by using this value, the resulting path points will be buffered from walls and other vertical obstacles by half of the width provided.

Request Header

Name	Required	Type	Description
x-ms-client-id		string	Specifies which account is intended for usage in conjunction with the Microsoft Entra ID security model. It represents a unique ID for the Azure Maps account and can be retrieved from the Azure Maps management plane Account API. To use Microsoft Entra ID security in Azure Maps see the following articles for guidance.

Responses

Name	Type	Description
200 OK	WayfindResult	OK
Other Status Codes	ErrorResponse	An unexpected error occurred.

Security

AADToken

These are the Azure Active Directory OAuth2 Flows. When paired with Azure role-based access control it can be used to control access to Azure Maps REST APIs. Azure role-based access controls are used to designate access to one or more Azure Maps resource account or sub-resources. Any user, group, or service principal can be granted access via a built-in role or a custom role composed of one or more permissions to Azure Maps REST APIs.

To implement scenarios, we recommend viewing authentication concepts. In summary, this security definition provides a solution for modeling application(s) via objects capable of access control on specific APIs and scopes.

Notes

This security definition requires the use of the x-ms-client-id header to indicate which Azure Maps resource the application is requesting access to. This can be acquired from the Maps management API.

The Authorization URL is specific to the Azure public cloud instance. Sovereign clouds have unique Authorization URLs and Azure Active directory configurations. * The Azure role-based access control is configured from the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs. * Usage of the Azure Maps Web SDK allows for configuration based setup of an application for multiple use cases.

Currently, Azure Active Directory v1.0 or v2.0 supports Work, School, and Guests but does not support Personal accounts.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit
Authorization URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize

Scopes

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when you Create an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal or using PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST API.

With this key, any application can access all REST API. In other words, this key can be used as a master key in the account that they are issued in.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use the confidential client applications approach to access Azure Maps REST APIs so your key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey
In: query

SAS Token

This is a shared access signature token is created from the List SAS operation on the Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this token, any application is authorized to access with Azure role-based access controls and fine-grain control to the expiration, rate, and region(s) of use for the particular token. In other words, the SAS Token can be used to allow applications to control access in a more secured way than the shared key.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to configure a specific list of allowed origins on the Map account resource to limit rendering abuse and regularly renew the SAS Token.

Examples

Get the shortest path between two points in the facility.
