)
Parameters:

  • BoundingBox (string) –

    Takes in two pairs of coordinates, [Lon, Lat], denoting south-westerly and north-easterly edges of the image. The underlying area becomes the view of the image.

    Example: -123.17075,49.26959,-123.08125,49.31429

  • BoundedPositions (string) –

    Takes in two or more pair of coordinates, [Lon, Lat], with each coordinate separated by a comma. The API will generate an image to encompass all of the provided coordinates.

    Note

    Cannot be used with Zoom and or Radius

    Example: 97.170451,78.039098,99.045536,27.176178

  • Center (string) –

    Takes in a pair of coordinates, [Lon, Lat], which becomes the center point of the image. This parameter requires that either zoom or radius is set.

    Note

    Cannot be used with Zoom and or Radius

    Example: 49.295,-123.108

  • ColorScheme (string) –

    Sets color tone for map, such as dark and light for specific map styles. It only applies to vector map styles, such as Standard.

    Example: Light

    Default value: Light

    Note

    Valid values for ColorScheme are case sensitive.

  • CompactOverlay (string) –

    Takes in a string to draw geometries on the image. The input is a comma separated format as follows format: [Lon, Lat]

    Example: line:-122.407653,37.798557,-122.413291,37.802443;color=%23DD0000;width=7;outline-color=#00DD00;outline-width=5yd|point:-122.40572,37.80004;label=Fog Hill Market;size=large;text-color=%23DD0000;color=#EE4B2B

    Note

    Currently it supports the following geometry types: point, line and polygon. It does not support multiPoint , multiLine and multiPolgyon.

  • CropLabels (boolean) – It is a flag that takes in true or false. It prevents the labels that are on the edge of the image from being cut or obscured.

  • GeoJsonOverlay (string) –

    Takes in a string to draw geometries on the image. The input is a valid GeoJSON collection object.

    Example: {"type":"FeatureCollection","features": [{"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"MultiPoint","coordinates": [[-90.076345,51.504107],[-0.074451,51.506892]]},"properties": {"color":"#00DD00"}}]}

  • Height (integer) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the height of the map image.

  • Key (string) – Optional: The API key to be used for authorization. Either an API key or valid SigV4 signature must be provided when making a request.

  • LabelSize (string) – Overrides the label size auto-calculated by FileName. Takes in one of the values - Small or Large.

  • Language (string) –

    Specifies the language on the map labels using the BCP 47 language tag, limited to ISO 639-1 two-letter language codes. If the specified language data isn’t available for the map image, the labels will default to the regional primary language.
