Data Schemas

Data Schemas from Cadence Maps are compatible with the Overture Maps themes.

URL Structure

Let's break down the components in that path:

api.cadencemaps.infs.ch/cadencemaps/release/[date]/theme=[theme]/type=[type]/country=[country]/*
  • [date]: Releases follow a date-based versioning scheme in the format YYYY-MM-DD
  • [theme]: One of the two data themes: places or divisions
  • [type]: A feature type within a theme, e.g. place or division_area
  • [country]: A country code, e.g. CH for Switzerland
  • /*

If you'd like to get the data of all countries, replace country=[country] with *. The URL would then look like this:

api.cadencemaps.infs.ch/cadencemaps/release/[date]/theme=[theme]/type=[type]/*/*
