Map layers

Map layer routes for the world explorer: the catalogue, each layer’s GeoJSON (a whole city, or one tile of the layer’s own grid), the weather now, and Vexcel’s orthophoto and 3D city mesh for the map. Owned by the explorer workstream.

Generated from FastAPI’s OpenAPI schema for server/threshold/api/layers.py.
