Sites

• GitSpatial makes GeoJSON on GitHub more like an API

API

You can interact with geojson.io programmatically in two ways:

• URL parameters
• Browser console

Full API documentation can be found in API.md.

Development

Install browserify'ied libraries:

npm install

Browserify libraries, concat other libraries, build minimal d3:

make

Run a local server with visionmedia/serve:

Port 8080 is recommended because by default geojson.io will use a prose/gatekeeper auth server that redirects back to http://localhost:8080/ for GitHub OAuth.
