Mapbox Bright wont render: Did I leave a command out?

Question

Using Folium but cant render a map with a "Mapbox Bright" tiling. However I can render a "Stamen Toner" tiling. Am I leaving out a command?

• Ran code on both windows and linux platforms,
• in the cloud and local,
• in both firefox and chrome.
• libraries installed via pip install folium or conda install

Code should execute:

import webbrowser

import folium

world_map_stamen = folium.Map(location=[56.130, -106.35], tiles="Stamen Toner",zoom_start=4,height=500, width=1000)

world_map_mapbox = folium.Map(location=[56.130, -106.35], tiles="Mapbox Bright",zoom_start=4,height=500, width=1000)

world_map_stamen.save("mymap_stamen.html") world_map_mapbox.save("mymap_mapbox.html")

webbrowser.open("mymap_stamen.html")

webbrowser.open("mymap_mapbox.html")

I expected both to work. Only one did. I must be forgetting something?

Answer 1

Found my own answer and this question has been answered elsewhere in various forms....

But it seem like there are two answers:

(1) Mapbox maps are no longer supported in folium 0.9 so Mapbox maps must be called using an attribution and custom tile call:

• mymap = folium.Map(location=[30,-83], zoom_start=2,tiles= tileset_id, attr="any text here")

• where tileset_id = "http://api.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.light/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.xxx" (where pk.xxx is your API token from mapbox (go sign up))

• see https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/203062/how-do-i-use-mapbox-tiles-with-folium

(2) the tilesets that are free are listed in another post and no longer include mapbox bright. see https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/244788/map-ids-to-add-mapbox-basemaps-to-leaflet-or-openlayers
