Authentication

maproll is currently in public preview. No API key is required and no rate limits are enforced.

When that changes, this page will document:

  • How to obtain an API key.
  • Where to pass it (Authorization: Bearer <key> header, or apiKey= query parameter for <img> embeds).
  • Per-key rate limits and quotas.

Fair use today

While the service is open:

  • Renders are aggressively cached. Re-using the same URL is free — please do.
  • Avoid generating thousands of unique URLs in a loop. If you need batch rendering, open an issue (link TBD) and we will help.
  • Server-rendered PNGs cost roughly 100ms of CPU each. SVG is free in comparison.
