Legacy Maps

Legacy

The Legacy Map API is a legacy product. It is no longer in active development. To learn more about Mapbox's newer web services APIs see the Styles API documentation on the endpoint to request embeddable HTML.

The Mapbox Legacy Maps API supports the retrieval of tilesets as embeddable HTML slippy maps. You can also use the Legacy Maps API to retrieve a standalone marker.
