To return features in a named table in the repository defined by its ID, the user (or any roles they belong to) will need Execute permission on the named table in the following manner:

  • “EXECUTE” for entity type “Location Intelligence.Named Resources”

Parameters

For information on the parameter types listed below, see Request URL Data Types.

Parameter Type Required Description
tablename String yes The name of the table to return features for. The table is specified by a Regex for the named table to render based on the location of the named table in the Repository. The name of the named table is defined between the /tables portion of the URL and the /features.rep portion of the URL. For example, to return the features for a named table located at /Samples/NamedTables/WorldTable in the Repository, the following URL would be used:
.../FeatureService/tables/Samples/NamedTables
/WorldTable/features.json;...
rep String yes The representation to be returned. Supported representation is json.
attributes=attname String no The attribute names of the feature to be returned in the response. By default all attributes are returned. More than one attribute is defined by a comma separated list. This is a simple way of limiting the amount of information in the response to include only the information requested. Each feature in the resulting feature collection will only contain the specified attributes. For example, if the table contains four attributes, but only two are required in the response, those two attribute names can be specified here (separated by a comma) and the values for the other two will not be returned.
destinationSrs String no The coordinate system to return the resulting geometries. The default is the coordinate system of the data used (for example: epsg:4326).
key String yes The ID of the feature to be returned. This is either the ID (for .tab files) or the primary key (for dbms) of the feature in the table.

Returns
