Request

URL

There are two ways that you can specify search position, either by longitude and latitude or by the mesh code. In the URL, bold characters indicate a request parameter; superscript number corresponds to the No. in parameter list.

By Mesh code
http://www.j-shis.bosai.go.jp/map/api/landslide/isContaining.json?meshcode=meshcode1&options4
http://www.j-shis.bosai.go.jp/map/api/meshcode1/landslide/isContaining.json?options4
By Longitude and Latitude
http://www.j-shis.bosai.go.jp/map/api/landslide/isContaining.json?position=position2&epsg=epsg3&options4
Parameters

Request parameters of the API are as follows. The parameters are case-sensitive.

No Parameters Dispensability Input values and Description
1 meshcode Conditional 250m mesh code

Refer to the Quarter Grid Square definition for more information.

Note) Request fails if the “epsg” or “position” parameter is specified with this parameter.

2 position Conditional Longitude and Latitude are separated by a comma.
The coordinates are restricted in the following regions.

  • 122.0≦Longitude≦154.0
  • 20.0≦Latitude≦46.0

Note1) This parameter is required when “epsg” parameter is specified.
Note2) Request fails if a “meshcode” parameter is specified.

3 epsg Conditional EPSG code

  • JGD2000…4612
  • Tokyo…4301
  • WGS84…4326

Note1) This parameter is required when “position” parameter is specified.
Note2) Request fails if a “meshcode” parameter is specified.

4 lang Optional Response language

  • Japanese…ja
  • English…en

Note) A default value is “ja”.

Response

Status code

The data acquisition is successful, once you got the return HTTP 200 status code. Otherwise, please see the following HTTP status code.

HTTP status code Description Detail
400 Bad Request The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax.

For example, unsupported value was setup.

403 Forbidden The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.

For example, requests exceeded the upper limits of normal.

404 Not Found The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.

For example, non-existent mesh code was specified.

500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
503 Service Unavailable The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.

For example, a database connection fails.

Normal case

Response is as follows.

Attr2codes for ‘Boundary Structures (Main scarp and lateral scarp (flank))’ are as follows

Attribute2 code Attribute2 name
100 Main and/or lateral scarp of which crown is fresh or not dissected
200 Partially dissected crown
300 Mostly dissected crown
400 Roundly subdued and vague crown
500 Exposed slide surface without sharp scarp
600 Lunar or crown cracks, multiple scarps and ridges
700 The missing part of the scarp and crown by dissection

Attr2codes for ‘Boundary Structures (Margin of moving mass) (Boundary)’ are as follows.

Attribute2 code Attribute2 name
100 Moving mass
200 Probable boundary of an area inferred as an unstable or quasi-moving mass
300 A mountain or hill difficult to identify whether mass is moving or not
