Setup with Console

Console is where you can purchase Map Credits, access data, create organizations, and track usage.

If you're a customer interested in accessing the world's freshest map data products, Console is the place to go. This one-stop shop offers all the core features needed to access Bee Maps products.

Create Account

Get started by logging into Console using a Google account. You can also create/link a Phantom or Breeze account, but Google is the preferred login method for Console.

Please do not sign into the website with Google if you are also contributing to the map with a device or completing AI Trainer tasks. Please use Phantom or Breeze instead to receive rewards without interruption. See the Hivemapper Network documentation for details.

Buy Map Credits

Map Credits are needed to access Bee Maps data products, including the Map Image API, Map Features API and Scout. Map Credits can only be purchased after logging in. Once logged in, you can purchase Map Credits through Console > Organization.

Each Map Credit costs $0.02. This means that $1 buys 50 Map Credits, which is roughly equivalent to one kilometer worth of imagery from a single week, or 1 kilometer of a single class of Map Features for a week. There is a minimum purchase of $10, equivalent to 500 Map Credits, with each transaction.

Generate API Key

To use Bee Maps APIs, an API key must be generated and active. To generate an API key:

1. Navigate to Console > Developers > API Key

2. Click Generate API Key

3. Active API keys will will be listed under Active API Keys

For Developers

• In your API call, add the base64 encoded username:APIKey

  Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDA=

After generating an API key and purchasing Map Credits, you now have access to the Map Image API, Map Features API, and Scout.
