{
  "teamId":             "XXXXXXXXXX",
  "keyId":              "YYYYYYYYYY"
  "privateKey": "AuthKey_YYYYYYYYYY.p8",
}

# install
npm install

# run and inspect output
mapkit-snapshots.js null-island.geojson -c config.json

Online help

Online help is available by supplying no parameters.

mapkit-snapshots.js

Usage:
  mapkit-snapshots.js <file.geojson> -c config.json     # -c pass in privateKey, teamId, keyId
  mapkit-snapshots.js <file.geojson> -c config.json -o  # -o opens in default browser

Apple MapKit JS Examples

This repo shows working samples of Maps Web Snapshots and Node JS sample code for generating the proper URLs to use in your applications.
