MVT

The MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) service provides access to geographic data related to stations, organized in a tile-based format. For each requested tile, the API returns a station layer, which contains a collection of features. Each feature in this layer represents either an individual station or a cluster of stations, depending on the zoom level and the density of stations in the area.

Base URL

To access the station data in MVT format, send a request to the following endpoint:

          https://api.chargetrip.io/station/tile.mvt/{z}/{x}/{y}
        

URL Parameters

• {z}: Zoom level (integer) – Determines the scale of the map and the detail of the data returned.
• {x}: Tile column (integer) – Identifies the X coordinate of the tile in the grid.
• {y}: Tile row (integer) – Identifies the Y coordinate of the tile in the grid.

Most map providers have built-in methods to convert latitude and longitude to pixel coordinates. To manually convert latitude and longitude coordinates to x and y use the Web Mercator Projection.

Response

All features returned by the MVT API have the following properties:
