REST API

The REST API is used to interact with the Immersal Cloud Service. It can be used to submit images for map construction, construct maps, load them, and even run the visual positioning localization process on the Cloud Service.
All REST API calls take JSON as input and also return the result as JSON.
All calls, except login, need a valid developer token for authentication.
We provide a sample implementation in C# (see the REST.cs class in the SDK samples). It should be quite straightforward to make the API calls in JSON from e.g. JavaScript & WebXR applications, and on other platforms.

C# Sample Code
The code below is an example of using the REST API to log in a user and retrieving their token. Except for the SDKLoginRequest class, all other Request classes inherit the requisite token from SDKRequestBase.
See the Immersal.Samples.Mapping.MapperJobs and Immersal.Samples.Mapping.Mapper classes and Samples/Scenes/MappingApp for more examples.
1
SDKLoginRequest loginRequest = new SDKLoginRequest();
2
loginRequest.login = "[email protected]";
3
loginRequest.password = "password";
4
​
5
string jsonString = JsonUtility.ToJson(loginRequest);
6
using (UnityWebRequest request = UnityWebRequest.Put(string.Format(Endpoint.URL_FORMAT, m_Sdk.localizationServer, Endpoint.LOGIN), jsonString))
7
{
8
  request.method = UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbPOST;
9
  request.useHttpContinue = false;
10
  request.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
11
  request.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
12
  yield return request.SendWebRequest();
13
​
14
  SDKLoginResult loginResult = JsonUtility.FromJson<SDKLoginResult>(request.downloadHandler.text);
15
  if (loginResult.error == "none")
16
  {
17
    Debug.Log(loginResult.token);
