Maps Stats API

Introduced 2.7

When you create and save a map in OpenSearch Dashboards, the map becomes a saved object of type map. The Maps Stats API provides information about such saved objects in OpenSearch Dashboards.

Example request

You can access the Maps Stats API by providing its URL address in the following format:

<opensearch-dashboards-endpoint-address>/api/maps-dashboards/stats

The OpenSearch Dashboards endpoint address may contain a port number if it is specified in the OpenSearch configuration file. The specific URL format depends on the type of OpenSearch deployment and the network environment in which it is hosted.

You can query the endpoint in two ways:

• By accessing the endpoint address (for example, http://localhost:5601/api/maps-dashboards/stats) in a browser

• By using the curl command in the terminal:

  curl -X GET http://localhost:5601/api/maps-dashboards/stats

         }
      }
   ]
}

Response body fields

The response contains statistics for the following layer types:

• Basemaps: Either a default OpenSearch map or custom base layer maps.

• WMS layers: Custom WMS base layer maps.

• TMS layers: Custom TMS base layer maps.

• Document layers: The map’s data layers.

For more information about the layer types, see Adding layers.

The following table lists all response fields.

Each map in the map_list contains the following fields.

The saved object ID helps you navigate to a particular map because the ID is the last part of the map’s URL. For example, in OpenSearch Playground, the address of the [Flights] Flights Status on Maps Destination Location map is https://playground.opensearch.org/app/maps-dashboards/88a24e6c-0216-4f76-8bc7-c8db6c8705da, where 88a24e6c-0216-4f76-8bc7-c8db6c8705da is the saved object ID for this map.
