[Terms of Service](https://www.maptiler.com/terms/)

MapTiler API allows you to programmatically access all the data, maps, services, and resources available in your MapTiler account.

Access to your resources via MapTiler API is read-only, and therefore safe and well suited for public end-user applications. You can use it to add a map directly to your website, request map tiles, create an image with a location map for your business, search for addresses, and more.

The universal public API request format is:

```ini
https://api.maptiler.com/{METHOD}/{QUERY}.json?{PARAMS}&key=YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE
```

🔑 You need a **MapTiler API key** to use this service. [Get it here](https://cloud.maptiler.com/account/keys/) and [learn how to protect it](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/maps-apis/maps-platform/how-to-protect-your-map-key/).
