Sandbox
In the Sandbox mode of the app, in addition to viewing layers on the map, you can draw points and polygons to view statistics of the data through time for a specific location.
Drawing polygons in the Sandbox requires a registered account
You can still draw points on the map without signing up, but with strict rate limits.
To inspect the data at a specific location, perform the following steps:
- Either manually navigate by panning the map and zooming in/out, or use the "Search Places" button in the toolbar to search for a place and move the map there.
- Click on either the point or polygon drawing tool at the bottom of the left sidebar.
- Follow the instructions provided in the left sidebar to complete the geometries.
After having finished drawing your geometry, a graph of the active layer over your location will appear in the bottom bar.
All geometries drawn in the Sandbox persist locally
until you manually delete them or clear your browser cache, and you will be able to select them from the left sidebar.
API usage
You can access functionality equivalent to the Sandbox through our API, by requesting against the Datacube part of the API
