Vector Map API (v1.1)​​

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

The vector map API service provides vector tiles of Japan map data manufactured by GeoTechnologies.
The vector tiles will be provided in MVT (MapBox Vector Tile) format.

The data file format used by this API is MBTiles.​
We also offer a vector map API v2 that uses the PMTiles format, which is optimized for faster tile loading in browsers and cloud environments by reducing network traffic through optimized data size.
*If you anticipate a large volume of API traffic, please use the Vector Map API v2.
