Keops

Keops is a CLI tool that allows you to apply some logic to vector tiles in a MBTiles file, such as removing or getting the size of a given tile, obtaining the vector layers that conform the MBTiles or shrinking the vector data, in order to reduce the data size.

Read the full documentation for more details: keops.franmartin.es.

Installation

Keops needs Python 3.7 or higher. The recommended way to install it is via pip.

pip install keops-vt

If you want to run the shrink command you also need Docker.

CLI Usage

The usage is pretty simple and straigthforward. For instance, if you want to drop a given tile in a MBTiles:

Keops have some more functionalities. To check them, simply execute keops or keops --help in your bash.

Credits

The merit of the shrink module belongs entirely to rastapasta, as the unique developer of tileshrink, and ooZberg, as the person who wrapped it in a Docker image in order to use it without worrying about the Node.js version. What I have done is creating a backup of the Docker image and wrapping it again in this package, so it can be used in a focused environment.
