The bbox query parameter provides a simple mechanism for filtering resources based on their location. It selects all resources that intersect a rectangle (map view) or box (including height information).

The following bounding box parameter includes the 48 contiguous states of the United States of America.
bbox=-124.7844079,24.7433195,-66.9513812,49.3457868bbox is a query parameter that may be applied in GET requests on a collection of resources.
The parameter, if provided, selects the resources with a spatial extent that intersects the specified bounding box.
The coordinates of the bounding box are in longitude, latitude and optionally ellipsoidal height unless a different coordinate reference system is specified in the query parameter bbox-crs.
The bbox parameter matches all resources in the collection that are not associated with a spatial geometry, too.
If a resource has multiple spatial geometry properties, it is the decision of the server whether only a single spatial geometry property is used to determine the spatial extent or all relevant geometries.
