Map Image API

Fresh, geolocated street-level imagery from around the globe

Overview

Bee Maps designed the Map Image API to allow developers and enterprises to easily access imagery from the Hivemapper Network.

Map Image API Developer Docs and Tools

• Developer documentation for Map Data APIs can be accessed here.

• You will need an API Key, see here for instructions.

• Hive-Py is a Python wrapper for the Map Image API, see GitHub here.

Example query Python query using Hive-Py

> python -m imagery.query
usage: query.py [-h] -i INPUT_FILE [-s START_DAY] [-e END_DAY] [-L] [-x] [-d MAX_DIST] [-l MAX_LAG] [-z MAX_ANGLE] -o OUTPUT_DIR [-g] [-w WIDTH] [-M]
                [-I CUSTOM_ID_FIELD] [-S CUSTOM_MIN_DATE_FIELD] [-k] [-E] [-K SKIP_GEO_FILE] [-P IMAGE_POST_PROCESSING] -a AUTHORIZATION [-c NUM_THREADS] [-v]
                [-C] [-b] [-N]

Sample Map Image API data

Before using the API, you can quickly evaluate sample imagery that was collected via front-facing and side-facing devices.

Imagery specs

• Forward facing (interior or exterior mounted)

• 1080p

• Lane-level positional accuracy

• Frames collected and uploaded every 6 to 8 meters — can be dynamically adjusted in certain regions.
