Okay Layar work directly with our web application. My idea was to create layers directlyfrom my web application but I think I still have to wait a little for that but it's pretty well the possibilities offered by the api.

Thanks and regards

Hi Antonio,

The Publishing API is not a ready tool for layer development.  We just simplify the process of creating new layers by giving you the access to our environment and to developers profiles by making calls from your side to our web service.

For instance, developer can create new layer, get a list of his layers, get layers data, update layers data (minimum_version, category, countries, bounding-boxes, tags, images), delete a layer (not yet implemented), check layer name availability, update layer status (in development to pending review, approved for publication to published, published to unpublished and vice versa, unpublished to frozen and vice versa), get layer change history, etc.

I assume that you want to add some POIs in your layer and so on. POIs can be stored on your side but if you will create service which will be constructed using our Developer API. It requires good web technical skills to adopt it.

If you are experiencing problems with this check these ready tools: http://layar.pbworks.com/w/page/30676208/Third-Party-Tools-and-Tutorials
