# WMS entrypoint (GetCapabilities, GetMap, GetFeatureInfo)

`GET /v1/spatial/wms`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cloud.precisely.com`
- URL: `https://api.cloud.precisely.com/v1/spatial/wms`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `Authorization`

Handles all WMS requests based on the REQUEST parameter. Dynamic styling via SLD_BODY is supported only on POST requests.

**GetCapabilities Example:**
- SERVICE=WMS
- REQUEST=GetCapabilities

**GetMap Example:**
- SERVICE=WMS
- REQUEST=GetMap
- VERSION=1.3.0
- LAYERS=LayerName
- STYLES=
- CRS=EPSG:4326
- BBOX=-100,0,90,100
- WIDTH=400
- HEIGHT=300
- FORMAT=image/png

**GetFeatureInfo Example:**
- SERVICE=WMS
- REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo
- VERSION=1.3.0

**Authorization:** Requires a valid Bearer JWT or API key (see security schemes below). Unlike the Mapping API's named-resource endpoints, WMS does not perform a per-layer EXECUTE-permission check — layer availability is governed by the WMS layer configuration rather than per-caller ACLs.
