The Datagarden GeoJSON data

To support easy use of the data in map applications the datagarden API provides access to the GeoJSON data for all regions for which public GeoJSON data is available. GeoJSON is a widely used format for representing spatial data and is supported by most mapping applications.

Retrieving the GeoJSON data

You can retrieve the geojson for a region by adding the include_geojson=y when requesting the region object.

Authentication Required - Subsription plan according to requested Region 

	# retrieve Country resource with geojson
	>>> url = "https://www.the-datagarden.io/country/netherlands/?include_geojson=y"
	>>> headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer <access_token>'}
	>>> 
	>>> response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)
	>>> print(response.json())

The response on this request will now include a geojson entry. The geojson data is returned in a standard GeoJSON format and can be used in directly in mapping applications and or spatial queries queries. For most regions the geojson will be a MultiPolygon but for the smaller regions it can also be a Polygon.
