Vector Tiles

Write a PlazaQL search and the map draws it as live Mapbox Vector Tiles, on top of Plaza's own basemap. Pan anywhere: every tile is rendered from the database.

Tag filters, element types and .fields(...) carry over to the tiles. Add .tile(z, x, y, layers: [...]) to pick Shortbread layers; the map chooses the coordinates.

Zoom 2 to 22; data is complete from zoom 14, deeper zooms stretch it.

Use these tiles in your app

The style and TileJSON need no API key. Tile requests do: send yours in the X-API-Key header. Tiles count as standard requests; the free plan gets 5,000 tiles a day.
