get_map_tile

Name	Datatype	Description
blob	string (byte)	Contains Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) data.
cache_control	string	The HTTP Cache-Control directive for the value.
content_type	string	The map tile's content type. For example, application/vnd.mapbox-vector-tile.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get_map_tile	select	map_name, z, x, y, region	key	This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend upgrading to GetTile unless you require Grab data. GetMapTile is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Maps API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2). The version 2 GetTile operation gives a better user experience and is compatible with the remainder of the V2 Maps API. If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Maps API version 2 is found under geo-maps or geo_maps, not under location. Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Maps API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab. Start your version 2 API journey with the Maps V2 API Reference or the Developer Guide. Retrieves a vector data tile from the map resource. Map tiles are used by clients to render a map. they're addressed using a grid arrangement with an X coordinate, Y coordinate, and Z (zoom) level. The origin (0, 0) is the top left of the map. Increasing the zoom level by 1 doubles both the X and Y dimensions, so a tile containing data for the entire world at (0/0/0) will be split into 4 tiles at zoom 1 (1/0/0, 1/0/1, 1/1/0, 1/1/1).

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
map_name	string	The map resource to retrieve the map tiles from.
region	string	AWS region (default: us-east-1)
x	string	The X axis value for the map tile.
y	string	The Y axis value for the map tile.
z	string	The zoom value for the map tile.
key	string	The optional API key to authorize the request.
