mts_create_tileset: Create a tileset with the Mapbox Tiling Service API

In walkerke/mapboxapi: R Interface to 'Mapbox' Web Services

Create a tileset with the Mapbox Tiling Service API

Description

After you've uploaded your spatial data to your Mapbox account with mts_create_source and prepared a valid recipe with mts_make_recipe(), you can use your source and recipe to create a vector tileset. This tileset will be hosted at your Mapbox account. Once created successfully, you will need to publish the tileset using mts_publish_tileset to use it in Mapbox Studio, Mapbox GL JS, or an R package that can read Mapbox tilesets.

Usage

mts_create_tileset(
  tileset_name,
  username,
  recipe,
  request_name = tileset_name,
  access_token = NULL
)

Arguments

tileset_name	The name of the MTS tileset you intend to create
username	Your Mapbox username
recipe	An MTS recipe, created with mts_make_recipe()
request_name	The name of the request; defaults to the tileset name
access_token	Your Mapbox access token

Value

The response from the API, formatted as an R list.

# Build out the recipe.  First, create a recipe layer with
