Spatial data API with GraphQL, PHP and MySQL
<p>Some years ago I bought an internet domain offering a PHP based server backed by a MySQL database. I kept it for years without using it because I had neither the desire nor the time to write or develop. On the other hand, since when I graduated in GIS I have always had the desire to take up and improve the final dissertation work. One of the objectives of the project was to develop a cycling route planner for Edinburgh which took into account past cycling accidents; providing the users with potentially safer cycling routes compared to those of the common cycling route planners, <a href="https://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/~mscgis/13-14/s1238528/#planner" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here you can see the presentation web page</a>. Though it required a lot of work and gave a me an interesting insight on the distribution of cycling accidents in the city of Edinburgh, the final product was not ready to be published. I have recently decided to resume some of that work exploring the possibilities offered by APIs. I wanted to design one myself and I wanted to use an innovative approach for spatial data. </p>
