Tile Service

The Tile Service is a powerful API to provide a fully clustered and pre-rendered station map solution with filtering capabilities. Unlike traditional methods, where filtering and clustering are handled on the front end, the Tile Service enhances the user experience by moving these operations to the back end. This drastically improves map performance and reduces waiting times when interacting with the charge station data.

How it works

The Tile Service is optimized for speed and efficiency, allowing you to take advantage of a wide range of filters for complex filtering operations on the back end. Additionally, you can further optimize response times and size using the selectors query parameters, which tailor the data returned to meet your specific needs. The service supports both MVT and JSON formats, providing flexibility for various application requirements. Furthermore, the Tile Service is compatible with Eco-Movement and can integrate with custom station databases designed to fit your specific needs.

Use cases

The Tile Service API enables developers to build interactive maps to display EV charging stations on mobile and web-based applications and embedded platforms. This service is ideal for applications requiring a performant display of many stations on a map, like EV route planning apps or fleet management tools, or for data analysis and business intelligence purposes.

Implementation

When using the MVT or JSON API don't forget to authenticate your requests by adding the necessary authorization headers. Examples on how to integrate this with map providers can be found here.
