GPlates Web Service
The 🔥GPlates Web Service🔥 is a part of the on-going GPlates project funded by AuScope. The web service is built upon pygplates. It allows users to utilize the pygplates functionalities without installing pygplates locally. Users can send HTTP requests to https://gws.gplates.org to get the reconstruction results back. This enables pygplates functionalities in any programming languanges and on any operation systems.
The web serivce is also containerized(https://hub.docker.com/r/gplates/gws). Users can choose to deploy the Docker containers locally to enhance performance and data security.
The GPlates Web Service is created and maintained by EarthByte group at the University of Sydney.
