getMapStyleDescriptor

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend upgrading to GetStyleDescriptor unless you require Grab data.

  • GetMapStyleDescriptor is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Maps API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

  • The version 2 GetStyleDescriptor operation gives a better user experience and is compatible with the remainder of the V2 Maps API.

  • If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Maps API version 2 is found under geo-maps or geo_maps, not under location.

  • Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Maps API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.

  • Start your version 2 API journey with the Maps V2 API Reference or the Developer Guide. Retrieves the map style descriptor from a map resource.

The style descriptor contains specifications on how features render on a map. For example, what data to display, what order to display the data in, and the style for the data. Style descriptors follow the Mapbox Style Specification.
