2026-11-08

Added

• API tokens: api.mapx.at, tiles.mapx.at, routing.mapx.at and search.mapx.at need a free token from account.mapx.at: public (mx_pk_, bound to origins or an Android app, GET/HEAD only) or secret (mx_sk_). Send it as Authorization: Bearer or ?access_token=. New errors 401 (missing-token, invalid-token, token-expired) and 403 (token-blocked, origin-not-allowed, origin-missing, pk-not-allowed, app-not-allowed, ip-not-allowed), reason in the header X-Mapx-Reason. Anonymous requests are still served during the transition period with the header X-Mapx-Token-Warning. See Access and limits and Errors and limits.
• Corridor graph: GET /v1/corridor-graph (polyline as polyline6, buffer 100 to 5000 m, profile driving, cycling or walking): compact gzip subgraph of the road network around a route (nodes, directed arcs with travel time and weight, geometry, names, road class, statutory speed limits, turn restrictions) for recomputing a route offline.
• Speed limits: GET /v1/speedlimits (bbox or corridor as polyline6 plus buffer): statutory GIP limits as compact GeoJSON.
• Directions: exclude=ferry (all profiles except driving-traffic) and exclude=toll; voice_instructions and banner_instructions also for cycling, cycling-mtb and walking; maxspeed carries legal (false marks a modeled speed that is not a limit).
• Climate: GET /v1/climate/{lon},{lat} and the section climate in the parcel dossier: solar potential (kWh/m² and sunshine hours per year), temperature and precipitation normals with trend, hot, frost and snow days, drought index SPEI (GeoSphere Austria, CC BY 4.0).
• Directions: driving and driving-traffic avoid binding closures (EVIS/ASFINAG) and list them in routes[].closures_avoided; exclude also for driving-truck and driving-traffic; voice_instructions and banner_instructions (Mapbox form).
• Headers Server-Timing, ETag, Last-Modified (styles, TileJSON, OpenAPI; conditional requests answer 304) and RateLimit-Policy per endpoint group.
• Truck profile driving-truck with weight, height, width, length and truck_type.
• Error catalog with a stable code per error: Errors and limits.
• Docs: API reference generated from OpenAPI, playground per API, guides per product.

Changed

• English identifiers for styles, tilesets, search categories and response fields.
• Errors are application/problem+json with type URI, code, param and allowed; text in English, German with Accept-Language: de.
• The OpenAPI description is OpenAPI 3.1 with response schemas and examples.
• Directions overview defaults to simplified; overview=full returns every vertex.

Deprecated (sunset 2027-05-31)

• Style IDs karte, luftbild, gelaende, hybrid and the other German IDs.
• Tileset names basis, kataster, hoehenlinien, relief, dop, dop_flugblock.
• The 49 German search category IDs (for example bahnhof, apotheke).
• Parcel fields gstnr, kgnr, bauflaeche, quelle and elevation field stichtag (both names are in the response until the sunset).

Removed

• The alias paths /v1/{tileset}.json and /v1/{tileset}/{z}/{x}/{y}.{ext}. Use /v1/tiles/….

2026-11-07

Added

• Public transport: journeys (/v1/directions/transit), departures (/v1/departures) and stops (/v1/stops).
• Tolls in Directions: exclude=toll, routes[].toll, toll_road, toll_road_m.
• Traffic: /v1/traffic/* (incidents, speed limits, signs, tiles), incidents in Directions, profile driving-traffic.
• Tilesets rastanlagen (rest areas) and sharing (shared mobility), search categories for both.
• Weather: observations, hourly forecast and weather tiles (GeoSphere Austria, CC BY 4.0).
• Static Images: aerial images, terrain and map styles as PNG or WebP with overlays.
• Tilequery, Parcel, Search Box, Address Autofill and Address Validation, batch geocoding.
• Directions: alternatives, annotations, radiuses; matrix, isochrone, matching, optimized trips and tour planning.
• SDK mapx-gl.

Changed

• Reverse geocoding answers in milliseconds instead of about a second.
• XYZ tiles moved under /v1/tiles.
• Attribution in responses; operationId on every endpoint in the OpenAPI.

Earlier

Added

• Tilesets DTM, DSM, contours, base map, cadastre, orthophoto and flight blocks as PMTiles, TileJSON and XYZ.
• Elevation and profile API.
• Documentation in German and English.
