Description
This geometry service contains utility methods which provide access to sophisticated and frequently used geometric operations. You can use this geometry service to buffer, project, and simplify geometry; calculate areas and lengths for geometry; and determine spatial relations and label points. Supported operations include:
- Project: Returns
an array of projected geometries.
- Simplify: Returns
an array of simplified geometries.
- Buffer: Returns
an array of polygons at the specified distances for the input geometry. An
option is available to union buffer polygons at each distance.
- Areas
and lengths: Calculates areas and perimeter lengths for each polygon
specified in the input array.
- Lengths: Calculates
the lengths of each polyline specified in the input array.
- Relation: Determines
the pairs of geometries from the input geometry arrays that participate in the
specified spatial relation.
- Label
Points: Calculates an interior point for each polygon specified in
the input array.
- Auto
Complete: Simplifies the process of constructing polygons that are
adjacent to other polygons.
- Convex
Hull: Returns the Convex Hull of the input geometry.
- Cut: Splits
the input polyline or polygon where it crosses a cutting polyline.
- Densify: Densifies
geometries by plotting intermediate points between existing vertices.
- Difference: Constructs
the set-theoretic difference between an array of geometries and another
geometry.
- Generalize: Returns
generalized (Douglas-Poiker) versions of the input geometries.
- Intersect: Constructs
the set-theoretic intersection between an array of geometries and another
geometry.
- Offset: Constructs
the offset of the given input polyline based on an offset distance.
- Reshape: Reshapes
a polyline or a part of a polygon using a reshaping line.
- Trim
/ Extend: Trims / extends each polyline specified in the input array
using the user-specified guide polylines.
- Union: Constructs
the set-theoretic union of the input geometries.

What are the terms of use of this service for arbitrary third-party applications? It this just a public service available to anyone who wants to use it? Is there a documented rate limit?
Do we still have to pass a token when using this service? If no, how do esri know that we still have enough credit?
where did the distance-operation went to?
Nataliya, they appear to have used upper case in their URL which it does not currently support. Change ArcGIS to arcgis and it works... I hope this helps! - https://tasks.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer
Hello. This REST url doesn't seem to be working. Is there a new geometry service available?
