Data - Update

Use to update data content previously uploaded using Data Upload.

Note

Azure Maps Data service retirement

The Azure Maps Data service (both v1 and v2) is now deprecated and will be retired on 9/16/24. To avoid service disruptions, all calls to the Data service will need to be updated to use the Azure Maps Data Registry service by 9/16/24. For more information, see How to create data registry.

The Data Update API is an HTTP PUT request that allows the caller to update previously uploaded data content.

You can use this API in a scenario like adding or removing geofences to or from an existing collection of geofences. Geofences are uploaded using the Data Upload API, for use in the Azure Maps Geofencing Service.

Please note that the Update API will replace and override the existing data content.

Important

By using this feature, you agree to the preview legal terms. See the Preview Supplemental Terms for additional details.

Submit Update Request

To update your content you will use a PUT request. The request body will contain the new data that will replace the existing data. The Content-Type header will be set to the content type of the data, and the path will contain the udid of the data to be update.

For example, to update a collection of geofences that were previously uploaded using the Upload API, place the new geofence content in the request body. Set the udid parameter in the path to the udid of the data received previously in the upload API response. And set the Content-Type header to one of the following media types:

  • application/json
  • application/vnd.geo+json
  • application/octet-stream

Here's a sample request body for updating a simple Geofence. It's represented as a circle geometry using a center point and a radius. The sample below is in GeoJSON:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [{
        "type": "Feature",
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [-122.126986, 47.639754]
        },
        "properties": {
            "geometryId": "001",
            "radius": 500
        }
    }]
}

The previously uploaded geofence had a radius of 100m. The above request will update it to 500m.

The Data Update API performs a long-running operation.

Data Update Limits

Please, be aware that currently every Azure Maps account has a data storage limit. Once the storage limit is reached, all the new upload API calls will return a 409 Conflict http error response. You can always use the Data Delete API to delete old/unused content and create space for new uploads.

Security

AADToken

These are the Microsoft Entra OAuth 2.0 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 Microsoft Entra ID 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.

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

Scopes

Name Description
https://atlas.microsoft.com/.default https://atlas.microsoft.com/.default

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.
