Map Styles

Styles API

Requests for a Style JSON (e.g. style.json). This configuration file sets up the map's base layers, fonts, and colors. Typically, one style load equals one map initialization session.

Load basemap styles like Street, Light, Dark, and Satellite map or use custom-designed map styles. It allows your visitors to pan, zoom, see 3D terrain, and interact with the map without impacting your bill.

Free tier: Free up to 100k monthly map style loads
Overage: $1.20 per 1k overage map style loads

Data

Tiles API

Requests for individual data tiles (e.g. /{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf). These are generated when the map fetches specific chunks of vector data from your custom layers as users move around the map.

Retrieve data about specific features from vector tilesets using PBF endpoint. These are generated when the map fetches specific chunks of vector data from your custom layers as users move around the map.

Storage

Static storage for your uploaded files (MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON).

Upload MBTiles or PMTiles or GeoJSON and serve them as hosted vector layers. Usage is calculated based on the total size of the datasets you keep hosted on each month.

Free tier: Free up to 1 GB hosted storage

FAQ

How do I get started with Mappinest?

Create an account, generate a key, and pick a style (Streets, Light, Dark, Satellite) or upload a dataset.

Use the style or tile URL in Mapbox GL, MapLibre, Leaflet, or OpenLayers.

What are the two main services you charge for?

Map Styles (style JSON loads) and Data (tile requests plus hosted storage). You can use either one or both.

What is a map style load?

A style load is counted when the style.json is requested to initialize a map. Panning, zooming, and 3D terrain do not add extra style loads.

What is a tile request?

A tile request is a single raster or vector tile fetched from a tileset as users move around the map. Each tile load counts as one request.

What does hosted storage include?

Storage is the size of your hosted datasets per month.

  • MBTiles and PMTiles (vector or raster)
  • GeoJSON and Shapefile (.zip) are still not supported
Do I need to host data to use Mappinest styles?

No. You can use the Styles API only and plug the style URL directly into your SDK.

Is everything pay-as-you-go?

Yes. You get a free monthly allowance, then overages for style loads, tile requests, and storage are billed as you use them. If storage goes over 1000 GB, we require a Flex top-up.

How can I control access and usage?

Use API tokens, restrict domains or tilesets, and monitor usage in Analytics. This keeps your costs and access predictable.

Which SDKs and platforms are supported?

Any client that can read XYZ or vector tiles: Mapbox GL, MapLibre, Leaflet, OpenLayers, QGIS, and ArcGIS.

What is included in Free, Flex, and Enterprise?

Free is for testing and small projects with a solid monthly allowance.

Flex raises limits and adds priority cache, advanced security, and support.

Enterprise is custom with SLA, SSO, and private endpoints.

Can I customize the standard styles?

Yes. Start from our standard basemaps (Streets, Light, Dark, Satellite) and tweak them in Studio or treat them as a base for your own design.

Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are flexible and you can change anytime. Annual commitments are optional and come with discounts.
