Data Registry - Register Or Replace

Reference

Service:: Maps

API Version:: 2023-06-01

Use to register data stored in an Azure Storage Account with an Azure Maps account.

Note

Azure Maps Data registry service retirement

The Azure Maps Data registry service is now deprecated and will be retired on 9/30/25. For more information, see End of Life Announcement of Azure Maps Data Registry.

The Register API is an HTTP PUT request used to register the data in an Azure Storage Account with an Azure Maps account. The maximum file size that can be registered is one gigabyte.

This is useful in scenarios like registering a collection of Geofences in GeoJSON format for use in Azure Maps Geofencing Service, or registering a set of DWG design files as a zipped Drawing Package for use in the Azure Maps Creator Conversion Service.

The data registry service endpoint is limited in scope to the region of your Azure Maps account and is not available for global Azure Maps accounts.

Submit Register or Replace Request

The Register and Replace requests are both long-running operations that contain an AzureBlob JSON object in the body of the request that defines the data registry details.

Security

AADToken

These are the Microsoft Entra OAuth 2.0 Flows. When paired with Azure role-based access control it can be used to control access to Azure Maps REST APIs. Azure role-based access controls are used to designate access to one or more Azure Maps resource account or sub-resources. Any user, group, or service principal can be granted access via a built-in role or a custom role composed of one or more permissions to Azure Maps REST APIs.

To implement scenarios, we recommend viewing authentication concepts. In summary, this security definition provides a solution for modeling application(s) via objects capable of access control on specific APIs and scopes.

Notes

This security definition requires the use of the x-ms-client-id header to indicate which Azure Maps resource the application is requesting access to. This can be acquired from the Maps management API.

The Authorization URL is specific to the Azure public cloud instance. Sovereign clouds have unique Authorization URLs and Microsoft Entra ID configurations. * The Azure role-based access control is configured from the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs. * Usage of the Azure Maps Web SDK allows for configuration based setup of an application for multiple use cases.

For more information on Microsoft identity platform, see Microsoft identity platform overview.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit
Authorization URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when creating an Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this key, any application is authorized to access all REST APIs. In other words, these can currently be treated as master keys to the account they are issued for.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use server-to-server access of Azure Maps REST APIs where this key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey
In: header

SAS Token

This is a shared access signature token is created from the List SAS operation on the Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this token, any application is authorized to access with Azure role-based access controls and fine-grain control to the expiration, rate, and region(s) of use for the particular token. In other words, the SAS Token can be used to allow applications to control access in a more secured way than the shared key.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to configure a specific list of allowed origins on the Map account resource to limit rendering abuse and regularly renew the SAS Token.
