# Retrieve the vector tileset metadata for the specified collection and tiling scheme (tile matrix set)

`GET /collections/{collectionId}/tiles/{tileMatrixSetId}`

## Path parameters

- `collectionId` 'ngd-base' | 'asu-bdy' | 'wtr-ctch' | 'trn-ntwk-railway' | 'wtr-tidalboundary', required
- `tileMatrixSetId` '3857' | '27700', required

## Response `200`

Description of the tileset

- TileSet — A resource describing a tileset based on the OGC TileSet Metadata Standard. At least one of the 'TileMatrixSet', or a link with 'rel' http://www.opengis.net/def/rel/ogc/1.0/tiling-scheme
  - `id` string — identifier of the tile matrix set
  - `title` string — A title for this tileset
  - `dataType` 'map' | 'vector' | 'coverage', required — Type of data
  - `crs` string, uri, required — Reference to one coordinate reference system (CRS)
  - `tileMatrixSetURI` string, uri — Reference to a Tile Matrix Set on an offical source for Tile Matrix Sets such as the OGC NA definition server (http://www.opengis.net/def/tms/). Required if the tile matrix set is registered on an open official source.
  - `links` Link[], required — Links to related resources. A 'self' link to the tileset as well as a 'http://www.opengis.net/def/rel/ogc/1.0/tiling-scheme' link to a definition of the TileMatrixSet are required.
    - `href` string, required — Supplies the URI to a remote resource (or resource fragment).
    - `rel` string, required — The type or semantics of the relation.
    - `type` string — A hint indicating what the media type of the result of dereferencing the link should be.
    - `templated` boolean — This flag set to true if the link is a URL template.
    - `varBase` string — A base path to retrieve semantic information about the variables used in URL template.
    - `hreflang` string — A hint indicating what the language of the result of dereferencing the link should be.
    - `title` string — Used to label the destination of a link such that it can be used as a human-readable identifier.
    - `length` integer
  - `description` string — Brief narrative description of this tile set
  - `tileMatrixSetLimits` TileMatrixLimits[] — Limits for the TileRow and TileCol values for each TileMatrix in the tileMatrixSet. If missing, there are no limits other that the ones imposed by the TileMatrixSet. If present the TileMatrices listed are limited and the rest not available at all
    - `tileMatrix` string, required
    - `minTileRow` integer, required
    - `maxTileRow` integer, required
    - `minTileCol` integer, required
    - `maxTileCol` integer, required
  - `layers` GeospatialData[]
    - `description` string — Brief narrative description of this tile matrix set, normally available for display to a human
    - `id` string, required — Unique identifier of the Layer. Implementation of 'identifier'
    - `dataType` 'map' | 'vector' | 'coverage', required — Type of data
    - `geometryType` string
    - `maxTileMatrix` string — TileMatrix identifier associated with the minScaleDenominator
    - `minTileMatrix` string — TileMatrix identifier associated with the maxScaleDenominator
    - `propertiesSchema` GeospatialDataPropertiesSchema — Attributes of the features or rangetypes of a coverage. Defined by a subset of the JSON Schema for the properties of a feature
      - `type` 'object', required
      - `properties` object, required
  - `boundingBox` BoundingBox2D — Minimum bounding rectangle surrounding a 2D resource in the CRS indicated elsewhere
    - `lowerLeft` number[], required — A 2D Point in the CRS indicated elsewhere
    - `upperRight` number[], required — A 2D Point in the CRS indicated elsewhere
    - `crs` string, uri — Reference to one coordinate reference system (CRS)

## Other responses
