**TILES**
|
||||
|
||||
[GET] subdomain.cartodb.com/tiles/:table_name/:z/:x/:y.[png|png8|grid.json]
|
||||
|
||||
Args:
|
||||
|
||||
* sql - plain SQL arguments
|
||||
* interactivity - specify the column to use in UTFGrid
|
||||
* cache_buster - Specify an identifier for the internal tile cache.
|
||||
Requesting tiles with the same cache_buster value may
|
||||
result in being served a cached version of the tile
|
||||
(even when requesting a tile for the first time, as tiles
|
||||
can be prepared in advance)
|
||||
* cache_policy - Set to "persist" to have the server send an Cache-Control
|
||||
header requesting caching devices to keep the response
|
||||
cached as much as possible. This is best used with a
|
||||
timestamp value in cache_buster for manual control of
|
||||
updates.
|
||||
* geom_type - override the cartodb default
|
||||
* style - override the default map style with Carto
|
||||
The [docs directory](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/tree/master/docs) contains different documentation
|
||||
resources, from higher level to more detailed ones:
|
||||
The [Maps API](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/Map-API.md) defined the endpoints and their
|
||||
expected parameters and outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
* style_version - the version of the style for POST
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||
[GET] subdomain.cartodb.com/tiles/:table_name/infowindow
