URL for Mapbox style sheet JSON

Is there a URL that serves up the style sheet JSON for a given style? All the URL's are in Mapbox scheme:

mapbox://styles/wfisher/41dj33random72ravc31c5dyn

But I'd like to download the JSON directly on load so I can modify it before passing in a Javascript object to <ReactMapGL>.

Solution

  • You have to use the Mapbox Static API:

    https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#retrieve-a-style

    so the URL would be:

    https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/wfisher/41dj33random72ravc31c5dyn?access_token=<token>

    and the sever will compress it if you use Accept-Encoding, too.
