Raster Tiles API
The Mapbox Raster Tiles API serves raster tiles. Each API request results in a single tile from a raster tileset like Mapbox Satellite or another Mapbox-hosted raster tileset. Raster Tiles API requests are typically made as a series of requests used to make slippy maps.
A sample Raster Tiles API request looks like:
https://api.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.satellite/1/0/0@2x.jpg90?access_token= <UserAccessToken />
The Raster Tiles API has optional parameters that can be used to refine the results of a request.
Raster Tiles API requests and map loads
Web maps using raster tilesets are billed by Raster Tiles API requests. This includes web maps built with Leaflet and a variety of other third-party applications. Mapbox GL JS web maps using a Mapbox GL JS version before v1.0.0 and one or more raster source will also be billed by Raster Tiles API requests.
