The API allows for the dynamic updating of spatial data already within Horizons to occur, where the master version of this data is managed elsewhere.
The Horizons web API is a Web Service endpoint which can be used to trigger automated data importing remotely on a schedule.
The web API supports the same feature set as manually importing via the Horizons web client. A Data Import Specification for .CSVs is available to define the data file structure. Alternatively .TAB or .SHP can be used. - API documentation
