Create Feature

URL:  /layers/{layer_id}/features 

Method: POST

Protocol: HTTPS

Returns:

• 201 (Created) + a URL to the newly created resource in the Location header of the response

Example:

$ curl -X POST https://api.giscloud.com/1/layers/11/features

Adding feature on the map on latlong coordinates (15, 45).

$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"data": {"a": "myname", "b": 995}, "geometry": "POINT(15 45)"}' "https://api.giscloud.com/1/layers/<LAYER_ID>/features.json?api_key=<API_KEY>" -v

When creating or updating a feature, you can specify the geometry in the geometry field, in WKT (Well-Known Text) format.
