Mapbox

Mapping and location services API for forward and reverse geocoding, batch geocoding, permanent geocoding, and place feature lookups.

Helps location-aware apps that geocode addresses in real time or in batches, run permanent enterprise-grade lookups, and retrieve place features.

Example Use Cases

These are the Mapbox actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Batch Geocode V6

Tool to perform batch geocoding with up to 1000 queries in a single request. Use when you need to geocode multiple locations efficiently (forward, reverse, or structured). Supports mixing query types in the same batch.

Forward Geocode V5

Tool to search for places by name or address using Mapbox Geocoding v5 API (forward geocoding). Use when you need to convert place names or addresses to geographic coordinates using the v5 endpoint.

Get Isochrone

Tool to calculate areas reachable within a specified amount of time or distance from a location. Use when you need to visualize travel time or distance zones for routing analysis.

Get Optimization V1

Tool to calculate optimal driving routes and trips that visit a set of waypoints. Use when you need to find the best order to visit multiple locations with optimized routing.

Get Static Image

Request a static map image from a Mapbox Studio style. Returns a PNG or JPEG image of the specified map area with customizable parameters including location, zoom level, camera angle, and optional overlays like markers or GeoJSON features. Use when you need to generate static map images for embedding in documents, emails, or web pages without interactive map functionality.

Get Token Information

Tool to retrieve information about a Mapbox access token and validate its status. Use when you need to check token validity or retrieve token metadata.

Retrieve Searchbox Place Details

Tool to retrieve full details for a specific place by its Mapbox ID. Use when you have a mapbox_id from a search suggestion and need complete place information.

Reverse Geocoding V6

Tool to convert geographic coordinates to place names using Geocoding v6 API. Use when you need to perform reverse geocoding from latitude/longitude coordinates.

Search Box Forward

Tool to search for places by name or address using the Search Box API. Use when you need to find locations, addresses, or points of interest based on a text query.

Search Box Reverse Geocoding

Tool to convert coordinates to places using the Search Box API (reverse geocoding). Use when you need to find place names, addresses, or points of interest for given coordinates.
