What Are the Requirements for Creating Valid Features in the Features API?

When using the Features API, it is important to follow specific rules to ensure your submissions are accepted and processed correctly. Below are the key requirements:

General Requirements

Rule Requirement
Format Valid GeoJSON
Projection WGS84 (EPSG:4326)
Dimension 2D only (no 3D geometries)
Supported Geometry Types Polygon or MultiPolygon
Vertices Limit No more than 1,500 vertices per geometry
Features Limit Up to 1 million Features per user

 

Optional Features Properties

A Feature may contain any properties you wish to include. If you provide an id, it will be used as the feature’s identifier for lookups. If an id is not provided, one will be automatically generated. Feature properties accept any string value, but the length of each string is limited to 255 characters.

Important Notes

- Only two-dimensional (2D) coordinates are allowed — Z-values (elevation) are not supported.
- Submissions exceeding the vertex or feature limits may be rejected or result in processing errors.
- Ensure that all geometries are properly closed and valid according to the GeoJSON specification.
