# Get the compressed features list

This endpoint is used to quickly load in a large batch of features to show in a viewer and then subsequently load additional features using the feature retrieval endpoints such as [search feature by extent](/developers/api-v3/path-vector/timestamps/search-feature-by-extent.md) or [search feature by tile](/developers/api-v3/path-vector/timestamps/search-features-by-tiles.md). This batch can be temporarily unavailable shortly after edits are made to the timestamp as the effect of the changes is being passed on to the batch.
