Vector Tiles API

Live and lightweight Vector Tiles API service

Vector Tiles API

API as Vector Tiles Format


Vector tiles API is mainly based on the lightweight and blazing fast Martin project of Urbica. Through this Docker Image, anyone can install Martin and get data from the Postgres/PostGIS tables in vector tiles format. vector tiles are ready to serve over vector basemap as native lative layer and its behavior over the Basemap can be used like vector tile layer

For more documentation and endpoints go to the Documentation of Vector Tiles API page.

Stand-alone Vector Tiles API

LocusQ Master stack covers all the segments of web GIS such as maps, routing, direction, transit, geocoding and many more tools. Besides this, Vector Tiles API can be installed as a stand-alone service if anyone does not need few other services or only 2-3 services. Here are the steps

  1. 1
    Pre-requisite

    Map Engine can not be run alone as it needs map data processing. this is why locusq-postgis is needed in the backend. go to Locusq PostGIS page to see how to install it.

  2. 2
    Change the conf.yml file

    Change the configuration file according to your needs. Country-wise configuration code can be found here.

  3. 3
    Run the standalone Vector Tiles API Docker

    Pull or run directly the Vector Tiles API docker image keeping the conf.yml file in the same directory from where the docker is running
    docker run -it --name vector-tiles-api --network locusq -v $(pwd):/data -p 4707:3000 locusq/vector-tiles-api:latest

  4. 4
    Get the APIs

    Wait a few minutes and check the status of service readiness with the following command
    docker exec -it vector-tiles-api status
    When the service is ready, connect the PostGIS server.
