Map Management API Guide and Examples

The Map Management API lets you manage your cloud-based maps styling resources using RESTful APIs.

Summary of steps

1. Use the Cloud console to create a map ID (limited to JavaScript vector-based maps).
2. Use the Cloud console to create a map style. A map style is used as the link between a map ID and a dataset.
3. Use either the Cloud Console or the Maps Datasets API to create a dataset.
4. Use the Map Management API to associate the dataset with the style ID.
5. Use the map ID in an application (JS, iOS, or Android) and use the data-driven styling API to style dataset features.

Types

DatasetStyleAssociation

Type: Object/Proto

Encapsulates the relationship between an existing dataset and an existing Client Style.

message DatasetStyleAssociation {
  option (google.api.resource) = {
    type: "mapstyling.googleapis.com/DatasetStyleAssociation"
    pattern: "projects/{project}/datasets/{dataset}/clientStyles/{client_style}"
    plural: "datasetStyleAssociations",
    singular: "datasetStyleAssociation"
  };

  // Resource name.
  // projects/{project}/datasets/{dataset}/clientStyles/{client_style}
  string name = 1;

  // The resource name of the style.
  // projects/{project}/clientStyles/{client_style}
  string client_style = 2;

Methods

CreateDatasetStyleAssociation

  rpc CreateDatasetStyleAssociation(CreateDatasetStyleAssociationRequest)
      returns (DatasetStyleAssociation) {
    option (google.api.http) = {
      post: "/v1/{parent=projects/*/datasets/*}"
      body: "dataset_style_association"
    };
    option (google.api.method_signature) =  parent,dataset_style_association";
  }

ListDatasetStyleAssociations

  rpc ListDatasetStyleAssociations(ListDatasetStyleAssociationsRequest)
      returns (ListDatasetStyleAssociationsResponse) {
    option (google.api.http) = {
      get: "/v1/{parent=projects/*/datasets/*}"
    };
    option (google.api.method_signature) = "parent";
  }

DeleteDatasetStyleAssociation

   rpc DeleteDatasetStyleAssociation(DeleteDatasetStyleAssociationRequest)
      returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {
    option (google.api.http) = {
      post: "/v1/{name=projects/*/datasets/*/clientStyles/*}:delete"
      body: "*"
    };
    option (google.api.method_signature) = "name";
  }

Example C++ calls

Sample Call to Create Endpoint

<pre>curl --http2 -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Token>' https://mapmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/projects/<Project_Number>/datasets/{dataset_id} -d '{name: "projects/{project_number}/datasets/{dataset_id}/clientStyles/{style_id}", client_style: "projects/{project_number}/clientStyles/{style_id}" }'</pre>

Sample Call to List Endpoint

<pre>curl --http2 -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Token>'   https://mapmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/projects/<Project_Number>/datasets/-</pre>

Sample Call to List Associated Maps

<pre>curl --http2 -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer  <Token>' https://mapmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/projects/<Project_Number>/datasets/<dataset-id>/clientStyles/<style_id>:listAssociatedMaps</pre>

Sample Call to Delete Endpoint

<pre>curl --http2 -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Token>' https://mapmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/projects/<Project_Number>/datasets/<dataset_id>/clientStyles/<style_id>:delete -d '{"map_ids": ["map-id-1", "map-id-2"]}'</pre>

Errors

• PERMISSION_DENIED : These errors always detail what resource access is denied. For example, when the API is not enabled for the supplied project.

• ALREADY_EXISTS: Triggered by a Create call when the DatasetStyleAssociation already exists.

• NOT_FOUND: Triggered by any of the above methods when an attempt is made to access a resource that does not exist, such as a Style, Dataset, or Project.

• INVALID_ARGUMENT: Request is malformed.
