Publish a tileset with Mapbox Tiling Service

mts_publish_tileset() publishes an existing vector tileset at your Mapbox account, allowing you to use the vector tiles in your projects. The tileset name will be the same name you specified in mts_create_tileset().

Usage

mts_publish_tileset(tileset_name, username, access_token = NULL)

Arguments

tileset_name

The name of the tileset (as supplied to mts_create_tileset())

username

Your Mapbox username

access_token

Your Mapbox access token

Value

The response from the Mapbox Tiling Service API, formatted as an R list.

Details

The published tileset will conform to rules specified in its recipe. If you want to change the recipe for a tileset, use mts_update_recipe() then re-publish the tileset with a call to mts_publish_tileset() once more.
