Predefined locations can be queried in any of the data endpoints (/timeline, /route), however, they are mainly used by Monitors.
Locations linked to an Alert will be constantly monitored to check whether or not the Insight conditions are forecasted to be truthy. In such a case, an Event will be created, and Notifications will be triggered out to the webhook defined for the account, as configured (prior/start/end).
Note:
For GeoJSON use [lon, lat]
For Query Parameters use [lat, lon]
Point Geometry
A point location is defined by geometry object, according to the [GeoJSON format]( GeoJSON format), whereas the type is "Point" and a single pair of longlat coordinates array.
In case a point has been queried for fields with a Max/Min/Avg suffix, the field values will default to the actual conditions at that point. The point location query parameters are passed as [latitude, longitude].
{
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [125.6, 10.1]
}
Polygon Geometry
A polygon location is defined by geometry object, according to the GeoJSON format, whereas the type is "Polygon" and an array of longlat pairs coordinates.
In case a polygon has been queried for fields with a Max/Min/Avg suffix, the field values will be calculated accordingly throughout the covered area. Otherwise, polygon field queries will default to Max (as if the suffix was added).
All polygons must be 400 sq km or smaller.
{
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[
[100.0, 0.0],
[101.0, 0.0],
[101.0, 1.0],
[100.0, 1.0],
[100.0, 0.0]
]
]
}
Polyline Geometry
A polyline location is defined by geometry object, according to the GeoJSON format, whereas the type is "LineString" and an array of longlat pairs coordinates.
In case a polyline has been queried for fields with a Max/Min/Avg suffix, the field values will be calculated accordingly throughout the polyline. Otherwise, polyline field queries will default to Max (as if the suffix was added).
All polylines must be 70 km or shorter.
{
"type": "LineString",
"coordinates": [[-100, 40], [-105, 45], [-110, 55]]
}
