xyzservices - Source of XYZ tiles providers
xyzservices is a lightweight library providing a repository of available XYZ services
offering raster basemap tiles. The repository is provided via Python API and as a
compressed JSON file.
XYZ tiles can be used as background for your maps to provide necessary spatial context.
xyzservices offer specifications of many tile services and provide an easy-to-use
tools to plug them into your work, no matter if interactive or static.
Quick Start
Using xyzservices is simple and in most cases does not involve more than a line of
code.
Installation
You can install xyzservices from conda or pip:
conda install xyzservices -c conda-forge
pip install xyzservices
The package does not depend on any other apart from those built-in in Python.
Providers API
The key part of xyzservices are providers:
>>> import xyzservices.providers as xyz
xyzservices.providers or just xyz for short is a Bunch of providers, an enhanced
dict. If you are in Jupyter-like environment, xyz will offer collapsible inventory
of available XYZ tile sources. You can also explore it as a standard dict using
xyz.keys(). Once you have picked your provider, you get its details as a
TileProvider object with all the details you may need:
>>> xyz.OpenStreetMap.Mapnik.url
'https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
>>> xyz.OpenStreetMap.Mapnik.attribution
'(C) OpenStreetMap contributors'
You can also check if the TileProvider needs API token and pass it to the object if
needed.
>>> xyz.MapBox.requires_token()
True
>>> xyz.MapBox["accessToken"] = "my_personal_token"
>>> xyz.MapBox.requires_token()
False
Providers JSON
After the installation, you will find the JSON used as a database of providers in
share/xyzservices/providers.json if you want to use it outside of a Python ecosystem.
