Api

Lab2Gpx API

I know a lot of people like to automate things and used the old version to scrape large areas. Lab2Gpx V2 is not a form anymore but uses an api the fetch data from the backend.

⚠️ There are currently no limits or restrictions on this api.
⚠️ This is a fair use concept. Do not stress this too much. Make an adequate pause between individual requests. I think 1 second is appropriate.

Download

For the download just send the settings as a json string in the body of the POST request

curl -X POST "https://api.lab2gpx.gcutils.de/download" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-binary @- <<'JSON'

JSON

The response is either HTTP Status 200 and the file or any other Status Code and the error message in a json response.

Instead of JSON you can also send variables as Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded e.g. for usage with GSAKs PostUrl() function. See https://github.com/mirsch/lab2gpx/issues/215

Lab2Gpx Code and UUID

to match other/old data you may require the Lab2Gpx Code for an UUID or vice versa

GET https://api.lab2gpx.gcutils.de/lab2gpx-data/by-code/<CODE>
GET https://api.lab2gpx.gcutils.de/lab2gpx-data/by-uuid/<UUID>

will give you the corresponding data from the Lab2Gpx Database or HTTP Status 404 if the information was not found in the DB
