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 'https://api.lab2gpx.gcutils.de/download' \
-X POST \
--data-raw '{"version":2,"locale":"en","radius":15,"coordinates":{"lat":52.520008,"lon":13.404954},"limit":300,"cacheType":"Lab Cache","linear":"default","prefix":"LC","stageSeparator":true,"customCodeTemplate":null,"userGuid":null,"completionStatuses":["0","1","2"],"includeQuestion":true,"includeWaypointDescription":true,"includeCacheDescription":true,"excludeOwner":null,"excludeNames":null,"excludeUuids":null,"quirksL4Ctype":false,"outputFormat":"zippedgpx"}'

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

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
