vocabulary: name: Felt API Vocabulary description: Key domain terms used across the Felt REST API and JavaScript SDK version: '1.0' created: '2026-06-12' source: https://felt.com/api/v2/openapi.json terms: - term: Map definition: > A collaborative mapping workspace in Felt that can contain layers, elements, and annotations. Maps have sharing settings, embed tokens, and are identified by a unique FeltID. properties: - id - title - url - thumbnail_url - created_at - updated_at - term: Layer definition: > A data layer within a Felt map that visualizes geospatial data. Layers can be uploaded files, database connections, or live data sources. They support styling, refreshing, and publishing to the workspace library. properties: - id - name - type - style - status - created_at - term: LayerGroup definition: > A named grouping of layers within a map that organizes related layers in the layer legend panel. Layer groups can be nested and toggled as a unit. properties: - id - name - layers - term: Element definition: > A geographic annotation or shape drawn on a map, such as markers, lines, polygons, or text notes. Elements are grouped into ElementGroups and encoded as GeoJSON features. properties: - id - type - geometry - properties - term: EmbedToken definition: > A scoped authentication token granting read-only or interactive access to embed a Felt map within an external application without requiring a Felt account. properties: - token - map_id - expires_at - term: Source definition: > A live data connection from Felt to an external data system such as a cloud database, S3 bucket, or spatial service (WFS/WMS/ESRI). Sources back dynamic layers that can be refreshed on schedule. properties: - id - type - name - connection - term: Project definition: > A workspace container in Felt that organizes a collection of maps for a team or use case. Projects have visibility settings and membership controls. properties: - id - name - visibility - map_count - term: FeltID definition: > The unique identifier format used for Felt resources (maps, layers, elements, users). Typically a short alphanumeric string. - term: BearerToken definition: > The API authentication mechanism for Felt. Users generate a personal API key from their Felt account settings and pass it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. - term: GeoJSON definition: > The standard geospatial data format (RFC 7946) used by Felt for element geometry and layer data exchange. Felt supports FeatureCollection and Feature types. - term: LayerUpload definition: > The two-step process for uploading file-based layer data to Felt: first creating an upload presigned URL, then posting the file bytes and completing the upload to trigger processing. - term: WMS definition: > Web Map Service — an OGC standard for serving georeferenced map images over HTTP. Felt can connect to WMS/WMTS endpoints as live data sources. - term: WFS definition: > Web Feature Service — an OGC standard for serving vector geospatial data. Felt can query WFS endpoints as live layer sources.
