RCS also has 3 debug endpoints. These are enabled by setting the DEBUG_ENDPOINTS variable to True in config.py.

GET /all_keys/[lang] Displays a list of registered keys and their related service, by language

NOTE: deprecated endpoints are not included in the summary

The RAMP client is intended to call the GET driven endpoints for dynamically loading layers. These functions are intended to be extensible and also allow for the retrieval of generic configuration as well.

The data catalogue is intended to call the PUT, POST and DELETE endpoints for storing data. Currently registration will accept ESRI feature service endpoints and WMS endpoints.
