Create Area of Interest¶

It is possible to simply pass a geometry GeoJSON file to save this to your My area space and once created it returns an ID which can then be used as either/or to generate stats or download data. While the atlas allows you to use the same name multiple times and is non unique, to avoid any confusion, the tool checks if a area of interest (aoi) exists with the same name and if yes then suggests you to change the name. This allows you to keep names distinct.
