Maps

Maps 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.

Data

Tiles API

Requests to the Tiles API. This includes vector or raster tile payload requests from your uploaded tilesets.

Serve vector or raster data from your uploaded tilesets through standard TileJSON or XYZ tile endpoints. Requests are counted when clients load tile payloads.

FAQ

How do I get started with Mappinest?

Create an account, upload a dataset or your tiles or pick a map style (Streets, Light, Dark, Satellite). Use the tile URL or style URL in Mapbox GL, MapLibre, Leaflet, or OpenLayers.

What are the two main services you charge for?

Mappinest measures billable usage across two product areas. They are Maps API and Tiles API. Maps API usage is billed by map loads, while Tiles API covers tile requests plus hosted storage. You can use either one on its own, or combine both in the same project.

What is a tile request?

A tile request is a single vector tile or raster tile fetched from the Tiles API. These requests follow the standard XYZ path pattern, and each tile load counts as one request.

What is a map load?

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

What does hosted storage include?

Host and serve tilesets and datasets for free up to 5 GB total storage. This works well for small hosted datasets, demos, prototypes, and early production projects.

  • Tilesets and datasets such as MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON, and Shapefile
  • Hosted inputs you want to serve through Mappinest endpoints
  • Free plan: up to 10 files and 5 GB total storage
  • Once storage goes above 5 GB, you need the Flex plan
  • Flex includes up to 20 GB hosted storage for $20/mo
  • Uploads above 20 GB require the Pro plan - contact us to arrange custom storage
Do I need to host data to use Mappinest styles?

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

Is everything pay-as-you-go?

Not automatically. Free includes monthly allowances for map loads and tile requests. Serving pauses at the Free quota unless you explicitly enable PAYG by adding your payment method in billing. PAYG and Flex continue serving after overage starts. Spending thresholds send notifications and do not stop traffic. Hosted storage follows plan rules. Stay on Free up to 5 GB, move to the Flex plan once storage goes above 5 GB, and uploads above 20 GB require the Pro plan. If you need more than 20 GB, contact us.

How can I control access and usage?

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

Which SDKs and platforms are supported?

Mappinest works with standard web map libraries and GIS clients, including Mapbox GL JS, MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, QGIS, and ArcGIS. See the overview documentation for how styles, tiles, and client integrations fit together.

What is included in Free, Flex, and Pro plans?

Free includes up to 10 file uploads, 5 GB of hosted storage, 100k monthly map map loads, and 300k monthly tile requests. You need to explicitly enable PAYG to continue serving after either request quota is reached.

Flex starts at $20/mo, is required once storage goes above 5 GB, and includes up to 50 file uploads, 20 GB storage, plus up to 5M tile requests with lower overage.

Pro is for storage above 20 GB or custom needs such as SLA, SSO, and private endpoints. See the pricing page for plan details.

Can I customize the standard styles?

Yes. Start from our standard map styles (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.
