Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 43 | 8.6 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 79 | 12.8 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 70 | 11.4 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 64 | 11.2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 40 | 5.0 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 70 | 6.1 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 64, provenance 96) | 7% | 8.8 | 80 | 7.0 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **62.1 → B** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 43 (checked 2026-11-06): Hosted lines. status.maptiler.com is a StatusCake public uptime report rather than a component incident page (15). Its data loads from app.statuscake.com, whose robots.txt answered with a redirect, so we didn't fetch it and read no history. That's our limit, not a finding, and the rubric gives 5 (5). Monthly request and session quotas are published per plan, but no per-second limit (5). No 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance found in the API reference, the OpenAPI spec or llms-full.txt (0). The pricing page lists a 99.9% SLA on the Custom plan, while the Cloud terms call availability best effort and point to a custom SLA (8). The public APIs are GA (10). 15+5+5+0+8+10 = 43.\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 79 (checked 2026-11-06): OpenAPI 3.1.0 document with 32 paths for the public APIs (25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a Markdown twin of every page (10). Each API page says what it's for and when to use the SDK instead (session billing), with little on when not to call it (13). Parameters are typed with defaults, such as limit (default 5 forward, 1 reverse) and a types enum, but bbox and proximity are strings (11). Examples on every endpoint, and the spec documents 400, 403, 404 and 414, without an error reference page (10). A dated platform updates page and a geocoding index changelog, but no version in the API path and the spec is version '1.0' (10). 25+10+13+11+10+10 = 79.\n- Agent ergonomics 70 (checked 2026-11-06): API reading. limit, types, bbox, proximity, country, language and fuzzyMatch size geocoding results, and the batch endpoint takes up to 50 queries (20). Country, bbox and type filters, no pagination (geocoding rarely needs it) (16). Errors are documented as 400 and 403 with no recovery guidance (10). Every public API reads and is safe to retry (12). Few required parameters, but official clients are JavaScript and TypeScript only, plus native mobile SDKs (12). 20+16+10+12+12 = 70.\n- Security \u0026 auth 64 (checked 2026-11-06): Revocable keys that can be limited to origins and a User-Agent substring and managed by the API keys API, and service tokens that sign requests so the token itself never travels, which earns 27. Less 10 because the key is 'always passed as a query parameter' (17). The public APIs are read-only, and account changes need a separate service token (16). Geocoding returns OpenStreetMap names and addresses, community-edited text, with no prompt-injection guidance (7). An Analytics API and account usage statistics (8). security.txt, a vulnerability disclosure policy and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification per the security page. No bug bounty found (16). 17+16+7+8+16 = 64.\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 40 (checked 2026-11-06): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-1,000 prices for requests ($0.15) and sessions ($2.50) public without login (20). Free plan with no card, though only for testing and non-commercial use (20). Signup is a browser flow (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 70 (checked 2026-11-06): @maptiler/client 3.1.0 and @maptiler/sdk 4.2.0 on 2 October 2026, 35 days before this check, with the agent skill updated on 21 October (20). Platform updates entries for August (EU endpoint, key security) and September 2026 (terrain blending) plus the two October releases (20). A Discord community and support answered on a best-effort basis within two business days, per the Cloud terms. We didn't read GitHub issues (10). Official JavaScript client and SDK current, no Python client (12). The SDK repository runs unit and end-to-end tests in CI; we didn't check results (8). 20+20+10+12+8 = 70.\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 80 (checked 2026-11-06): Editorial half only. Closed service with general and Cloud-specific terms under Swiss law, and SDKs under BSD 3-Clause and the skill under MIT (20). The privacy policy covers account and payment data and says legal-claim data is kept up to 10 years, but says nothing about how long API request logs are kept (15). A dated deprecation page for v3 maps and migration guides, with no written notice period (12). Hosting with OVHcloud and Google Firebase, data mainly in Switzerland and the EEA, and an EU-only endpoint. Google Analytics, Firebase and FastSpring named in the privacy policy (17). 20+15+12+17 = 64.\n\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (14 items).

No other people are named there, and no personal accounts are linked. Headquarters are in Zug, Switzerland, with part of the development team in Brno, Czechia. Startupticker's report on MapTiler AG says the company is bootstrapped with multi-million revenue, and CzechCrunch (10 January 2020) says the project runs entirely without investors, is long profitable and that both companies behind it, OctoGEO and Klokan Technologies, are owned by Petr Přidal. No investor is named on the company, terms or security pages or in a web search on 6 November 2026, so investors, total raised and valuation are left out; competition prizes and grants such as ESA BIC aren't investments.\n- MapTiler: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/maptiler X https://x.com/MapTiler GitHub https://github.com/maptiler\n\n### Getting support\n\n- Discord: https://discord.com/invite/4NGjwUFGj4\n- Help: https://docs.maptiler.com/support/requests/\n- Help: https://www.maptiler.com/#contact\n- General contact: sysadmin@maptiler.com\n- Sources: https://www.maptiler.com/company/, https://www.maptiler.com/terms/, https://www.maptiler.com/.well-known/security.txt, https://www.maptiler.com/terms/cloud/, https://blog.ovhcloud.com/startup-success-highlight-maptiler/, https://www.startupticker.ch/en/news/maptiler-s-international-growth-results-in-a-swiss-launch, https://cc.cz/cesi-vyviji-konkurenci-google-map-kterou-kazdy-mesic-vyuzije-200-milionu-lidi-jejich-mapy-nasadila-i-nasa/\n\n## Live (updated 2026-11-07 15:59 UTC)\n\n- Vendor status page: not read, no machine-readable status found\n- github `maptiler/maptiler-client-js` v3.1.0, released 2026-10-02\n- npm `@maptiler/client` 3.1.0\n- npm `@maptiler/sdk` 4.2.1\n- security.txt: valid\n- Watching changelog \u003chttps://docs.maptiler.com/updates/\u003e\n- Watching privacy \u003chttps://www.maptiler.com/privacy-policy/\u003e\n- Watching terms \u003chttps://www.maptiler.com/terms/\u003e\n- Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/maptiler.json\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Prices\n\n| Item | Price | Unit | Note |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| API requests over the Flex allowance | $0.15 | per 1,000 requests | Flex includes 500,000 a month |\n| Search sessions over the Flex allowance | $2.50 | per 1,000 requests | Priced per 1,000 search sessions through MapTiler SDK JS |\n| Flex plan | $30 | per month (plan) | Extra usage billed monthly |\n\nAcross all listings: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md\n\n## Strengths\n\n- OpenAPI 3.1.0 spec, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a Markdown version of every docs page\n- Geocoding results may be bulk downloaded and used outside the service with attribution\n- Keys can be restricted by origin and User-Agent, and service tokens can sign requests instead\n- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, security.txt and a vulnerability disclosure policy\n- EU-only endpoint at api.maptiler.eu and hosting mainly in Switzerland and the EEA\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- The API key is always sent as a query parameter\n- No routing, directions or matrix API\n- No per-second rate limit, 429 behaviour or retry guidance found in the documentation\n- The free plan is for testing and non-commercial use only, and pauses at its monthly limit\n- Official clients are JavaScript and TypeScript only\n\n\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Restrict the key to an origin or User-Agent, or sign requests with a service token from a backend, since the key appears in every URL\n2. Use the batch geocoding path (up to 50 semicolon-separated queries) rather than one call per address\n3. Use api.maptiler.eu when the user's requests must stay in the EU\n4. Read docs pages as Markdown by appending .md, starting from https://docs.maptiler.com/llms.txt\n5. Don't cache map tiles server-side; the Cloud terms forbid it, though geocoding results may be stored with attribution\n\n## Connect\n\nInstall:\n\n```bash\nnpm install @maptiler/client\n```\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\ncurl \"https://api.maptiler.com/geocoding/Zurich.json?language=en\u0026limit=3\u0026key=$MAPTILER_API_KEY\"\n```\n\nThrough letme: https://letme.dev/maptiler. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on maptiler.com or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/maptiler/maptiler-client-js. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"maptiler\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp.
