GET fetches the attribute names.

Exact public source snapshot

This operation is retained because its version-labelled public specification differs structurally from another generation. It is comparison evidence, not a promise of current support, compatibility, entitlement, or availability.

Version-aware contract

Compare before changing adapters

This is the v1 declaration and a retained alternative source generation. “Preferred” does not prove provider support or semantic compatibility.

Interactive, local, and credential-safe

Build your request in eight languages

Change source-backed examples once, validate required inputs, and copy the synchronized cURL, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, PHP, or Ruby request. Credentials remain environment references, and this page never sends a provider request.

Local request composerCode stays local · fixtures are explicit

How fixtures work

Generated from your inputs

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://mgis-api.mappls.com/describeDataset?datasetNme=india' \
  --header "Accept: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${MAPPLS_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Credential-safe by constructionSet MAPPLS_ACCESS_TOKEN only in your trusted runtime. Code generation stays local. Sandbox execution sends only bounded fixture inputs to this developer platform and never reads a credential or calls Mappls.

Five language quickstarts

Send a production-shaped request

Examples use environment-backed access tokens, explicit timeouts where supported, status checks, and JSON bodies derived from the source schema. Replace sample identifiers and coordinates with values from your application.

GET /describeDataset

  --url 'https://mgis-api.mappls.com/describeDataset?datasetNme=india' \

stateful integration

Operate it safely

observe

This operation observes durable platform state. Preserve resource identifiers and account for pagination, delay, and eventual consistency.

Keep credentials and raw tokens out of source, client bundles, prompts, and logs.Record the operation ID, status, latency, retry count, and source contract version in traces.Classify 4xx responses before retrying; back off and add jitter for retryable 5xx or transport failures.Persist resource identifiers and apply commands exactly once in effect across retries and event replay.
