An R interface to Mapbox APIs and web services
The purpose of {mapboxapi} is to facilitate the use of Mapbox web services for spatial data science tasks in R. Current and future versions of the package allow R users to return Mapbox navigation requests as simple features (sf) objects, convert R objects to Mapbox vector tilesets, and query Mapbox tilesets from R, among other tasks. The package is not a complete wrapper of the API (though new features will continually be added) nor is it an interface to Mapbox GL JS, Mapbox’s web mapping API.
Install the package from CRAN then store your Mapbox access token for use in the package:
install.packages("mapboxapi")
# For the development version:
# remotes::install_github("walkerke/mapboxapi")
# Get your access token from your Mapbox account and save it in R; save a public token,
# secret token, or both with successive calls to mb_access_token()
