MAPS_API.md

Here's a start to documentation for interacting with the Map Layers APIs.

You'll want a tool that makes it easy to send HTTP requests to the rest API. For instance, Guzzle is a handy tool for PHP developers.

Some of the examples below are written for a test tool like Postman if you're running tests.

Need more background on REST testing / debugging tools?
