Description
The root resource page resource is the initial entry point into the ArcGIS Server Services Directory. This resource represents a catalog of published folders and services on an ArcGIS Server site. The current version of ArcGIS Server is also returned in the response. The value of the version is a number such that its value at a future release is guaranteed to be greater than its value at a previous release.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| option |
Legacy:Support for footprints has been removed at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1, and the footprints value for this parameter has been deprecated. If option is footprints, the footprints of all map, feature, and image services in that folder are returned as a feature collection. This is only supported the response format (f) is set to json. Value: footprints |
| outSR |
Legacy:Support for footprints has been removed at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. The spatial reference of the geometry returned in footprints. This parameter is supported only when option is specified as footprints. The spatial reference should be specified as a well-known ID. If outSR is not specified, the geometry is returned in GCS_WGS_1984. |
| f |
The response format. The default response format is html. Note:The sitemap and geositemap formats generate XML sitemaps that can be submitted to various search engines. The sitemap format includes the Services Directory URLs to all your services. The geositemap format includes the KMZ footprint URLs to your map and image services. Note that if you've enabled security, an empty sitemap will be generated. Values: html | json | kmz | sitemap | geositemap |
