Station To Geometry

URL:: https://<event-layer-url>/stationToGeometry
Methods:: GET
Required Capability:: The ArcGIS Location Referencing license is required to use this resource.
Version Introduced:: 11.0

Description

This operation converts one or more station values to geographic locations along a set of routes in station-enabled event layers whe n the isStationEvent property is true.

A status message is returned indicating either success or why the conversion failed.

Status messages

The following table contains an enumeration of the possible locating statuses:

Status	Description
`esriLocatingOK`	Locating was successful.
`esriLocatingMultipleLocation`	Locating was successful and the input point was located on more than one route.
`esriLocatingInvalidRouteId`	The route location's route ID is invalid (null, empty, or invalid value).
`esriLocatingInvalidMeasure`	At least one of the route location's station values is invalid.
`esriLocatingCannotFindRoute`	The route does not exist.
`esriLocatingRouteShapeEmpty`	The route does not have a shape or the shape is empty.
`esriLocatingRouteMeasuresNull`	The route does not have measures or the measures are null.
`esriLocatingRouteNotMAware`	The route is not an m-aware polyline.
`esriLocatingNullExtent`	The from station is equal to the to station.
`esriLocatingCannotFindLocation`	The route location's shape cannot be found because the route has no measures or the route location's measures do not exist on the route.
`esriLocatingCannotFindExtent`	The route location's shape cannot be found because the from station and the to station are outside of the route measures.
`esriLocatingFromPartialMatch`	The route location's shape cannot be found because the from station is outside of the route measure range.
`esriLocatingToPartialMatch`	The route location's shape cannot be found because the to station is outside of the route measure range.
`esriLocatingFromToPartialMatch`	The route location's shape cannot be found because the from station and the to station are outside of the route measure range.

Request parameters

Parameter	Details
`f` (Optional)	Specifies the response format. The default response format is `html`. Values: `html` \| `json` \| `pjson`
`locations`	A list of routes and station values to convert to geometry. Syntax: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 { // syntax of a single station to translate to a point geometry "routeId": "<routeId1>", "station": "<station1>" }, { // syntax of a station range to translate to a line geometry "routeId": "<routeId2>", "fromStation": "<station2>", "toStation": "<station3>" }, { // syntax of a station range that spans different routes on the same line to translate to a line geometry "routeId": "<routeId3>", "toRouteId": "<routeId4>", "fromStation": "<station4>", "toStation": "<station5>" }, ... ]
`temporalViewDate`	The time instant to use as a temporal view date when locating route features. If this parameter is not specified, the current date is used. The parameter value is a number that represents the number of milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970) in UTC. Syntax: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 temporalViewDate=<timeInstant>` Example: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 temporalViewDate=1230768000000 (1 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT)`
`outSR`	The spatial reference of the returned geometry. The spatial reference can be specified as either a Well-Known ID (WKID) or a spatial reference JSON object. If `outSR` is not specified, the geometry is returned in the spatial reference of the map.
`gdbVersion`	The geodatabase version to use for the network feature class. This parameter applies only if the `isDataVersioned` property of the network layer is `true`. If this parameter is not specified, the published map's version is used.
