  • 1.  OS APIs

    Posted 01-31-2022 11:51
    Hi,

    Maybe I'm missing something here (very likely) but has anyone managed to get any of the OS APIs apart from the WMTS or WFS ones into Pro?

    They are accessed via URLS which look like :

    https://api.os.uk/maps/vector/v1/vts?key=XXXX

    Is there an easy way to get a vts? 

    Thanks

    Nick

    Hi Nick

    I think these are the Vector Tiles API, right?
    They are currently not supported in MapInfo Pro.

    MBTiles are supported through OGR but I don't think we support this through our support of OGR Vector Files.

    Are you looking to use these Vector Tiles for a specific use case in MapInfo Pro? We'd love to learn more about how people would use these.

    Hello, just seen this thread which looks interesting. We use Vector Tiles API quite a lot in QGIS because it performs really well in terms of loading speed and image quality.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Miquel

    What would say is the benefit of the Vector Tiles compared to say WMTS?
    Do you typically just render the Vector Tiles as they are styled from the producer or do you use the option to change the style too?
    Are you also able to turn the individual "layers" from the Vector Tiles on and off, or can you specify a single layer in your request?

    I guess I need to look a bit more into Vector Tiles.

    Thanks for any insight you can share
