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 example ways Snow can use Mapbox when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically 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.

Batch Geocoding

Tool to perform batch forward or reverse geocoding for multiple locations. Use when you need consistent geocoding of up to 50 queries in one call.

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.

Forward Geocoding

Tool to convert free-form or structured address into geographic coordinates and place features. Use when you need forward geocoding from text or address components.

Get Access Token

Tool to extract and validate Mapbox access token from connection metadata. Use when you need a valid token for downstream actions.

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 Map Matching

Tool to snap fuzzy GPS traces to roads on the road network. Use when you need to clean up inaccurate location traces for display or 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 Sprite

Tool to retrieve a sprite image or its JSON document from a Mapbox style. Use when you need sprite assets for rendering map icons. Sprites are collections of small icons used in map styles. The JSON format returns metadata about icon positions and dimensions within the sprite sheet, while the PNG format returns the actual image. Sprite sheets optimize performance by combining multiple icons into a single image.

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.
