Cesium Curated Content API Overview

Introduction

The Cesium Curated Content API in Bentley iTwin platform offers access to high-quality curated geospatial data from Cesium. This API allows developers to integrate curated 3D tiles, such as Cesium World Terrain and Cesium OSM Buildings, into their applications. The API aims to enhance the visualization capabilities of digital twins and provide enriched geospatial content using the iTwin platform.

Key Features

• Access to curated 3D tiles like Cesium World Terrain and Cesium OSM Buildings.
• Seamless integration with the iTwin platform.

Integrations

The API integrates seamlessly with the iTwin platform, allowing developers to leverage the power of both iTwin and Cesium platforms. Authentication and configuration are required to access the curated content.

Workflow

Configuration Steps

---

1. List Content: Use the curated-content/cesium endpoint with itwinId as parameter to retrieve a list of available curated 3D tiles.
2. Access Tiles: Use the curated-content/cesium/{contentId}/tiles endpoint to obtain the tile graphics URL for a given content type. Use the URL from the response to fetch tiles contextually as needed.

Use Cases

Geospatial Visualization: Enhance your applications with high-quality curated Cesium ion geospatial data for better visualization, analysis, and underlay. Simulation: Integrate curated 3D tiles into simulation applications for realistic environments. Infrastructure and Building Projects: Use the curated content to visualize and analyze infrastructure and building projects within the iTwin platform.
