Styles API

The Digime Styles API serves map style documents used to render vector tiles in libraries like Mapbox GL JS and MapLibre GL JS.

A style is a JSON document that defines the visual appearance of a map: which sources to draw from, the layers to render, and how those layers are painted (colors, fonts, icons, and so on).

Required parameters	Type	Description
`style_name`	`string`	Specifies the name of the style. See Available styles below.
`apikey`	`string`	A valid Digime API key passed as a query parameter.

Example request: Retrieve a style
