MapHub’s API allows you to create and modify maps on MapHub entirely programmatically. For example, you can write a Python script to create a map from scratch or update an existing map with GeoJSON data.
The API has just received a big update, allowing you to utilize functions that were not previously available.
As part of the API update, we’ve published a detailed tutorial explaining the concepts behind MapHub’s API. In the tutorial, you’ll create a Python script, which takes a table (in CSV format) and a directory of images and creates an interactive MapHub map, entirely programmatically.

MapHub has never used Google Maps for its map or geo-search data.
