Data Services
MSU hosts a variety of public facing data services by leveraging the ArcGIS Server REST API. Resources and operations exposed by the REST API are accessible through a hierarchy of endpoints or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for each GIS service published with ArcGIS Server.
By using this API, end-users can consume geospatial services in a variety of ways, for example using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. In addition, individual resources can be consumed or downloaded by passing a layers url and specifying the output format.

GeoJSON Downloads
GeoJSON is a format for encoding a variety and geographic data structures and often utilized in webmaps. The ArcGIS Server Rest API supports downloading GeoJSON by modifying the output format parameter. Here is an example url that can be used to download all active building footprints in a Lat/Long coordinates: https://services.gis.msu.edu/ags-basemaps/rest/services/Basemaps/MSUTiled/MapServer/29/query?where=1=1&outSR=4326&f=geojson
- https://services.gis.msu.edu/ags-core/rest/services/Basemaps/MSUTiled/MapServer/29/query? specifies the layer being queried
- where=1=1 specifies the filter (required)
- outSR=4326 specifies the output spatial reference. If using the default Web Mercator spatial reference this parameter can be ignored.
- f=geojson specifies the output format (required)
