Doctor

mapbox doctor is where to start when requests fail and you don't yet know why: a missing or unexpected token, or a network, proxy or firewall in the way. mapbox auth whoami answers which token the next command will use; doctor answers the rest of what commonly goes wrong before a real command finds out the hard way.

mapbox doctor​

A read-only snapshot of what the next command would see: which token wins and its state, which proxy environment variables you've set, and where the update-check and telemetry switches stand. It sends nothing unless --verify asks for the one check that needs a request.

Proxy names which of HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, ALL_PROXY and NO_PROXY exist, in upper- or lowercase. It answers "is a proxy variable set", not "would this request use one": NO_PROXY can exempt api.mapbox.com, and on macOS a proxy configured only in system network settings isn't visible here even though requests still use it.

Under -o json, telemetry is on only when both switches.telemetry_allowed (the MAPBOX_CLI_NO_TELEMETRY environment variable) and switches.telemetry_persisted (mapbox config set telemetry) are true.

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
--verifyAlso check that api.mapbox.com is reachable, through the same client and proxy handling every other request uses. Adds a Reachable line (a connectivity object in JSON). Honors --timeout/MAPBOX_TIMEOUT, and defaults to 5 seconds when you set neither.

Examples:

mapbox doctor
mapbox doctor --verify
mapbox doctor -o json
