Getting Started
Start quickly with core concepts, API keys, and the fastest path to your first working map with the Tiles API or Map Styles API.
This section is the best entry point if you are new to Mappinest and want to move from API key authentication to a working map without reading the full docs first. Start with Overview if you want the mental model first, or jump straight into Quickstart if you want the shortest path to a live map using either the Tiles API or the Map Styles API.
It explains the core model used throughout the docs, including map styles, uploaded datasets, and URL-based access with API key authentication. That gives you the foundation you need before moving into lower-level endpoint pages. Use these pages to understand how to start with the Tiles API, how to use ready to use map styles, and how the two fit together in a real integration flow.
If your goal is simply to get a map on screen quickly, start with Quickstart. Once that works, move deeper into Console, Tiles API, or Map Styles API depending on your use case.
