MapsOnline API

This API accesses QLD Government's MapsOnline service that integrates, summarises, presents and delivers spatially-referenced information as map and report products. Responses are returned via the specified email address once processed. There are supporting functions that retrieve the available report and feature types.

The primary request report function has separate GET and POST end points:
