Pinmaps.net allows you to create maps where you can add map points (push pins) to it. What makes this service stand out from other services is that you can save each map point with its own zoom level and map type . We suggest that you get familiar with the Pinmaps.net service and understand the concepts behing it before attempting to use the API. This API has been depricated and no longer in service. We’re dedicating our effort and development resounces to make Pinmaps.net service better every day. What you need In order to interact with the Pinmaps API you need to get a developer’s API key and a user’s API key . Every single call to the API requires four main credentials: DeveloperApiLogin, DeveloperApiKey, Username, and UserApiKey . Obtaining these four API Credentials is a three step process: You have to signup for the Pinmaps.net service You have to register as a Pinmaps.net Developer You need to obtain your user’s API key Your Developer’s API key will allow you to interact with your own pinmaps account as well as to make calls to the Pinmaps API on behalf of other users . If you want to make API calls on behalf of other users you need to ask them for their user’s API key. Maps API Methods Introduction A map is a large area such as a city , a state , or a country that can hold many map points . You can create several maps with lots of map points to suit your needs. Important: your map is like a container for your map points (push pins) See Sample Maps GET v1/map This method returns a single map object by map ID . The result does not include the map points .
