EU-based API endpoint

The api.maptiler.eu endpoint keeps your end users’ IP addresses inside the EU. It’s an alternative to api.maptiler.com for organizations that need to make sure the IP addresses of the people using their maps and apps are never transferred outside the EU.

What’s not covered

Some data can be processed outside the EU, no matter which endpoint you use:

• Your MapTiler account data. Information about you as a MapTiler customer, such as your account and billing details, is stored on infrastructure both in and outside the EU.
• Request content. To provide some services, we pass the content of a request to third-party providers that may be located outside the EU. For example, the address someone types into a geocoding search. This content can’t be traced back to individual end users.

For details on how we handle personal data, see the MapTiler Privacy Policy.

Availability

The EU endpoint is available to paid plans only. Requests made with a free-plan API key to api.maptiler.eu get rejected.

Note that the EU endpoint covers the public MapTiler API, not the Service API. The Service API is designed for backend-to-backend communication, such as uploading or deleting data in your account, and does not process end-user personal data.

How to use

Replace api.maptiler.com with api.maptiler.eu in your request URLs. The paths, parameters, and API keys remain identical on both endpoints.

Example:

https://api.maptiler.eu/maps/streets-v4/?key=YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY#1.0/0.00000/0.00000

With MapTiler SDK JS

MapTiler SDK JS supports the EU endpoint from version 4.2.0. To route all requests through the EU endpoint, set config.useEuEndpoints to true.

Example:

maptilersdk.config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY';
maptilersdk.config.useEuEndpoints = true;

const map = new maptilersdk.Map({
  container: 'map',
  style: maptilersdk.MapStyle.STREETS,
});

Geolocation accuracy

With the EU endpoint, IP geolocation is less accurate for end users located outside Europe. This can affect the prioritization of geocoding search results. If your application serves a global audience and needs maximum geolocation accuracy, we recommend that you continue using api.maptiler.com.
