Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Mapbox.

  1. 01

    Get directions

    Returns route distance, duration, geometry, step-by-step instructions and maneuver data. Supports driving (mapbox/driving), walking (mapbox/walking) and cycling (mapbox/cycling) profiles. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "longitude,latitude" pairs (e.g. "-77.0365,38.8977;-74.006,40.7128" for DC to NYC). Get driving, walking or cycling directions

  2. 02

    Get distance matrix

    Useful for logistics, delivery routing and travel planning. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles. Get travel times between multiple origins and destinations

  3. 03

    Get static map

    Returns a direct image URL that can be used in markdown, HTML or downloaded. Supports customizable zoom level and image dimensions. Generate a static map image for a location

  4. 04

    Search nearby

    Returns nearby places with names, addresses, categories, distances and coordinates. Use query to search for specific types of places (e.g. "restaurant", "gas station", "hotel"). Search for places near coordinates

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Mapbox.

  1. 05

    Geocode

    Returns the place name, coordinates, address components (street, city, state, postal code, country), place type and bounding box. Use this to find coordinates for use with directions, distance matrix and other capabilities. Convert a place name to coordinates

  2. 06

    Get elevation

    Useful for hiking, aviation and geographic research. Coordinates are comma-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Get elevation for coordinates

  3. 07

    Get isochrone

    Returns polygon contours showing the reachable area. Useful for determining service areas, commute ranges and accessibility. Coordinates are "lon,lat". Get reachable area within a time or distance

  4. 08

    Reverse geocode

    Returns the nearest address, city, state, country and other location details. Convert coordinates to an address

  • 02

    Can I get driving directions?

    Yes! Use get_directions with coordinates and the 'driving' profile. Returns route distance, duration, step-by-step instructions and geometry. Also supports 'walking' and 'cycling' profiles.

  • 03

    What are isochrones used for?

    Isochrones show the area reachable within a specific time or distance from a location. Useful for delivery zones, commute analysis, real estate proximity and accessibility planning.

  • 04

    Can I calculate distances between multiple locations?

    Yes! Use get_distance_matrix with multiple coordinate pairs. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles.
