mapbox-backup v3.2.1

mapbox-backup

A unofficial command line utility to backup and restore your Mapbox account.

Usage

npm install -g mapbox-backup
mapbox-backup --access-token="sk.xxx" --output path/to/output

This will backup everything possible (see below) or to only backup a subset of your account use any combination of these:

• --styles-list Style metadata
• --style-documents Styles
• --style-sprites Style sprites (json and png only, not source SVGs)
• --tilesets-list Tileset metadata
• --datasets-list Datasets metadata
• --dataset-documents Datasets
• --tokens-list Tokens

Scopes

To run the default backup you must provide a Mapbox Access Token with the following scopes (if some are missing the script will attempt to backup as much as it can with the scopes provided).

• styles:list
• styles:read
• tilesets:list
• tilesets:read
• datasets:list
• datasets:read
• fonts:read
• tokens:read
• user:read

Whats Missing?

The following isn't backed up as there is no API support:

• Style icons (your uploaded SVGs) (although you can manually download these from Mapbox Studio via the export function)
• Style fonts (your uploaded fonts)
• Tilesets (your uploaded Shapefiles, GeoJSON, MBTiles, etc)
• Connections between Datasets and Tilesets is only via implicit use of the dataset ID in the tileset ID
• Secret Access Tokens (however this is probably a good thing, if you need to restore from a backup you'll need to refresh any tokens in live use yourself)
