geoprimitives /v1/geometry/buffer APIPOST /v1/geometry/buffer · x402 API by geoprimitives

Buffer a geometry by a distance in metres and get the offset polygon back. Use it for service areas, setbacks, and proximity envelopes you will later test with POST /v1/pip. Accepts any geometry -- point, line, polygon, or a collection of them, each buffered about its own centre latitude -- and answers with a Feature, or a FeatureCollection when you sent several. A buffer that collapses (a negative distance larger than the shape, or any negative distance on a point or a line) answers geojson:null with empty:true, which is an answer and not an error. Geodesic-aware: turf buffers in an azimuthal equidistant plane scaled by a sphere, which is a systematic -0.56% error at the equator running to +0.44% at 80 deg latitude, and this endpoint cancels that by scaling the distance to the Gaussian ra
