Output formats
Choose GeoJSON, CSV, GML, KML, or HTML with the f= parameter, and know which JSON envelope you are getting.
Select the response format with f=:
| Format | f= value |
|---|---|
| GeoJSON (standard — recommended) | application/geo+json |
| GeoJSON (legacy envelope) | application/json |
| CSV | text/csv |
| GML 3.2 | application/gml+xml;version=3.2 |
| KML | application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml |
| HTML (browser) | text/html |
Without f=, the format is negotiated from the Accept header: browsers get HTML (nice
for exploring), while curl and HTTP libraries get JSON. Pin f= anyway so the response
never depends on what your client happens to send.
The two JSON formats
application/geo+json and application/json return the same features wrapped in
different envelopes:
application/geo+json— standard RFC 7946 GeoJSON and the canonical OGC API - Features representation:numberReturned,timeStamp, and a fulllinksblock (self,alternate,collection,next). Use this one.application/json— a legacy GeoJSON envelope: adds a non-standardcrsmember andtotalFeatures: "unknown", and carries only a barenextlink.
Both page the same way (each response has a next link when more results exist). On the
service metadata pages (landing page, conformance, /collections), plain
application/json is the JSON format — geo+json is for feature responses.
Examples
CSV — drop straight into a spreadsheet or pandas:
curl -sG -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"https://api.deepfire.co/ogc/features/v1/collections/deepfire:hotspots/items" \
--data-urlencode "bbox=-125,32,-114,42" \
--data-urlencode "filter-lang=cql2-text" \
--data-urlencode "filter=active = true" \
--data-urlencode "f=text/csv" -o hotspots.csv
KML — open in Google Earth:
curl -sG -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"https://api.deepfire.co/ogc/features/v1/collections/deepfire:satellite-perimeters/items" \
--data-urlencode "filter-lang=cql2-text" \
--data-urlencode "filter=active = true" \
--data-urlencode "limit=1000" \
--data-urlencode "f=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml" -o perimeters.kml
