Patch Map Layers Endpoint

PATCH
/maps/{map_id}/layers
 
curl --request PATCH \
  --url https://example.com/maps/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/layers \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \

Apply incremental layer additions, patches, removals, and ordering.

v13.14 fixup: declared on both slash variants directly (mirrors the Phase 280 fix on POST). FastAPI’s default redirect_slashes builds a relative Location header that resolves against the request’s Host header, which would leak the in-container api:8000 hostname through Vite’s dev proxy on a 307 redirect. The canonical (OpenAPI-published) form is the no-slash sub-collection convention documented in the GeoLens API guide (https://docs.getgeolens.com/guides/api/); the trailing-slash form is a hidden alias.

basemap_position
Any of:
BasemapPosition

Whether the basemap renders below (‘bottom’, default) or above (‘top’) data layers.

string
Allowed values: bottom top
boundary_visibility
BasemapSublayerVisibility

Administrative boundary sublayer visibility where supported.

string

string
default: full

sublayer_overrides
Any of:
object
key
additional properties
SublayerOverride

Per-sublayer style override for a single basemap sublayer.

All fields are nullable — a None value means “use the basemap default”. Only #RRGGBB hex strings are accepted for color fields; None means the basemap default color is preserved. Numeric ranges are clamped at validation time (Pydantic ge/le constraints).

The key set of BasemapConfig.sublayer_overrides is treated as opaque (forward-compatible with future sublayer IDs) — see CONTEXT.md D-01.

Security: extra=“forbid” locks the D-14 scope guardrail: unknown style axes such as dash patterns, line caps, halo blur, and text-font are rejected at validation time (T-1059A-03).
