Command line interface to Mapbox Web Services based on https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-sdk-py.
For users on OS X, we recommend installing with homebrew
$ brew install mapbox/cli/mapbox
For users familiar with Python and who already have pip installed on their system, you can create a virtual environment and install with
(venv)$ pip install mapboxcli
Installing locally without a virtual environment using
$ pip install --user mapboxcli
You'll then need to include ~/.local/bin in your $PATH.
Installing globally is not recommended but some users may want to do so under certain circumstances
$ sudo pip install mapboxcli
If you're interested in contributing, you'll want to install from master branch.
Use of the mapbox command line interface requires an access token.
Your token is shown on the API access tokens page when you are logged in.
The token can be provided on the command line
$ mapbox --access-token MY_TOKEN ...
or as an environment variable named MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
$ export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=MY_TOKEN
$ mapbox ...
For any command that takes waypoints or features as an input you can either specify:
- Coordinate pair(s) of the form
"[0, 0]"or"0,0"or"0 0" - Sequence of GeoJSON features on
stdin - GeoJSON FeatureCollection on
stdin - Paths to GeoJSON file(s) containing either a single Feature or FeatureCollection.
Note that functions that accept points only, any non-point feature is filtered out.
