Tiles API

This section covers the core delivery surface of Mappinest and shows how uploaded datasets are served through TileJSON, vector tiles, and raster tiles endpoints. If you already have MBTiles or PMTiles and want to host them without building your own tile infrastructure, this is the first API section to learn.

A single uploaded dataset can expose a TileJSON document plus vector and raster tile endpoints, all tied to the same dataset identifier. That makes the same tileset usable across web maps, desktop GIS tools, and any integration that consumes tiles through plain URLs.

Use this section when you need concrete endpoint patterns, accepted response formats, and caching behavior. It also explains how uploaded data moves from Upload Data into production-ready delivery.

If your starting point is a map style rather than your own tileset, begin with the Map Styles API instead.
