Tutorial: Query features (spatial) | CesiumJS

Learn how to execute a spatial query to access polygon features from a feature service.

Make a spatial query using API key authentication Make a spatial query using user authentication

A feature layer can contain a large number of features stored in ArcGIS. To access a subset of these features, you can execute an SQL or spatial query, either together or individually. The results can contain the attributes, geometry, or both for each record. SQL and spatial queries are useful when a feature layer is very large and you want to access only a subset of its data.

In this tutorial, you sketch a feature on the map and use ArcGIS REST JS to perform a spatial query against the LA County Parcels hosted feature layer. The layer contains ±2.4 million features. The spatial query returns all of the parcels that intersect the sketched feature.

Portal and data services guide

To learn how to publish your own data as a hosted feature layer, go to Data hosting.

Prerequisites

An ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

Steps Get the starter app

Select a type of authentication below and follow the steps to create a new application.

You can choose one of the following to create a new CodePen:

  1. Go to the Display a scene tutorial and download the solution.
  2. Unzip the folder and open it in a text editor of your choice, such as Visual Studio Code. The starter app includes the following:
Set up authentication

Create developer credentials in your portal for the type of authentication you selected.

Create a new API key credential with the correct privileges to access the resources used in this tutorial.

  1. Go to the Create an API key tutorial and create an API key with the following privilege(s):
  2. Copy the API key access token to your clipboard when prompted.

Create a new OAuth credential to register the application.

  1. Go to the Create OAuth credentials for user authentication tutorial to create an OAuth credential.
  2. Copy the Client ID and Redirect URL from your OAuth credentials item and paste them to a safe location. They will be used in a later step.
Note

To use this application, users must have an ArcGIS account with the necessary privileges to access all resources and services.

Set developer credentials

Use the API key or OAuth developer credentials created in the previous step in your application.

  1. Add <script> elements in the HTML <body> and create an accessToken variable to store your access token. Set YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with the access token you previously copied from your API key credentials.

        })
    
  2. Run the app and ensure you can sign in successfully.

    If you are unable to sign in, make sure you have the correct redirect URL and port. This URL varies based on your application and typically takes the format of https://<server>[:port]/callback.html or http://my-arcgis-app:/auth. For example, if you are running an application on http://127.0.0.1:5500/, set http://127.0.0.1:5500/callback.html as your redirect URL in the index.html and callback.html file and your developer credential. They all have to match!

  3. Set the defaultAccessToken included with Cesium to authenticate requests to the ArcGIS services used in this tutorial.

Get a Cesium ion access token

All Cesium applications must use an access token provided through Cesium ion. This token allows you to access assets such as Cesium World Terrain in your application.

  1. Go to your Cesium ion dashboard to generate an access token. Copy the key to your clipboard.

  2. Create a cesiumAccessToken variable and replace YOUR_CESIUM_ACCESS_TOKEN with the access token you copied from the Cesium ion dashboard.

  2. Add the data attribution for the feature layer source.

    Note

    To learn how to get attribution from an item, go to Esri and data attribution.

Create drawing tools

A spatial query is performed by passing a geometry object to a hosted feature layer. Add tools that allow the user of your app to draw point, line, and polygon geometries on the map.

  1. Add methods to draw points, lines, and polygons on the map. The methods will be called based on the drawing mode the user selects.
