mapbox

mapbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using Mapbox services for maps, turning addresses into coordinates, and calculating routes or travel areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding address lookup, routing, travel-time calculations, or other Mapbox map features to a backend.
Why use it?
It explains the relevant API calls, authentication, errors, rate limits, and token safety for backend services.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mapbox scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (examples/example.py, examples/example.ts, tests/skill.test.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Mapbox API Skill

Overview

Mapbox provides APIs for maps, geocoding, and routing. This skill focuses on the Mapbox Search (Geocoding) and Navigation APIs for backend services.

Installation

npm install @mapbox/mapbox-sdk
pip install mapbox

Authentication

Authenticate using Access Tokens. Default public tokens (pk.*) are for frontends. Secret tokens (sk.*) are for backends.

Core Concepts

  • Geocoding: Converting text (addresses) into geographic coordinates.
  • Isochrone: Calculating areas reachable within a given time.
  • Matrix API: Travel times between many points.

Common Workflows

  1. Instantiate the client with your Secret Token.
  2. Call geocodingService.forwardGeocode.
  3. Extract features[0].center for coordinates.

Error Handling

Catch network errors and parse the message from Mapbox. Check HTTP 422 for unprocessable geometry.

Security

Always use URL restrictions (Referrer matching) on Public Tokens. Keep Secret Tokens completely out of client-side code.

Rate Limits

Geocoding is limited to 600 requests per minute on standard plans.

Best Practices

Cache geocoding results permanently where legally allowed by the Terms of Service to dramatically reduce API costs and latency.

Troubleshooting

If reverse geocoding returns inaccurate results, ensure you are passing the correct types filter (e.g., address, poi).

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with mapbox — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

AI pitfalls

  • Referencing CLI flags or config keys that do not exist
  • Using outdated major versions of tools
  • Skipping lockfile or version pinning in examples

Production checklist

  • Secrets in environment variables, not source code
  • Error handling and logging in place
  • Rate limits and timeouts configured
  • react — integrates with
  • vue — integrates with

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mapbox is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 483 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
