4.1.2 Example Workflow With the Spatial Studio REST Endpoints

You can perform different workflows with the Spatial Studio REST Endpoints. For example, consider a workflow consisting of the following steps:

1. Create a new Spatial Studio dataset from an existing table containing latitude/longitude coordinates.
2. Instruct Spatial Studio to perform a reverse geocoding task on the underlying database table of the dataset.

   This task will update the table with additional columns representing the nearest address information as a result of the reverse geocoding operation.

3. Verify that the table is updated with the address columns by checking the data in a table row.

You can potentially automate these steps by running the workflow steps in a script. Also, note that the workflows are certainly not limited to this particular scenario. You can also, for instance, automate the process of creating a spatial analysis, obtaining a CSV report of the analysis, and so on.

The following sections enable you to perform the preceding example workflow by interacting with the REST endpoints of Spatial Studio using the cURL tool.
