Mountaya documentation
Mountaya gives outdoor organizations the tools to bring interactive geospatial content into their digital products. Embed 3D maps, render tile layers in your own map, or query geospatial data directly from your backend.
This documentation is open for anyone to browse, but you need API keys to make requests. If your organization is ready, request access and we'll get you set up.

Map Embedding
Drop a full Mountaya 3D map into your website with a single <iframe> tag. Display collections, routes, itineraries, and drawings — complete with terrain, overlays, and interactivity — without writing any map code.
Best for content pages, event pages, and landing pages where you want to showcase outdoor experiences without building a custom map.

Tile API
Add Mountaya's tile layers — weather overlays, snow depth, activity routes, collection data — to your existing map. Works with MapLibre, Mapbox, Leaflet, MapTiler, deck.gl, or any library that supports vector and raster tile sources.
Best for teams that already have a map in their app and want to enrich it with Mountaya data while keeping full control over the UI.

Data Platform
Query Mountaya's geospatial engine directly. Compute directions between waypoints, retrieve distances and durations, and get GeoJSON geometries — all through a typed API with no map rendering involved. Currently available as a GraphQL API, with SQL and REST interfaces coming soon.
Best for building features that go beyond map display — trip planners, route finders, distance calculators, or any backend logic that needs geospatial computations.
