ArcGIS Server Services Directory root

Description

The root resource page resource is the initial entry point into the ArcGIS Server Services Directory. This resource represents a catalog of published folders and services on an ArcGIS Server site. The current version of ArcGIS Server is also returned in the response. The value of the version is a number such that its value at a future release is guaranteed to be greater than its value at a previous release.

Request parameters

ParameterDetails

option

If option is footprints , the footprints of all map, feature, and image services in that folder are returned as a feature collection. This is only supported the response format (f ) is set to json .

Value: footprints

outSR

The spatial reference of the geometry returned in footprints. This parameter is supported only when option is specified as footprints . The spatial reference should be specified as a well-known ID. If outSR is not specified, the geometry is returned in GCS_WGS_1984 .

f

The response format. The default response format is html .

Values: html | json | kmz | sitemap | geositemap
