This page collects example responses from the machine data endpoints. Each section shows the response shape and realistic values for one resource type.

​
Machine file

A machine file returned by GET /files/{id}. The structure is the same across operation types; the summary properties vary.

Machine file summaries

The summary field on a machine file is a GeoJSON Feature. Properties differ by operation type.

​
Field operation

A field operation returned by GET /operations/{id}: 
{

  "leafUserId": "uuid",
  "startTime": "2016-09-19T18:30:51.640+00:00",

}

​
Field operation summary

The operation summary (GET /operations/{id}/summary) has the same structure as a file summary but represents the merged result across all files in the operation. See the file summary examples above — the properties and format are identical, with differences only in the values (which reflect the merged dataset).

​
Standard GeoJSON point data

Each point in the standardGeojson is a GeoJSON Feature. Properties vary by operation type.
