Depending on the use case, you may prefer a different way of accessing Map Content API.

The Map Content Portal provides a graphical overview of the map content exposed via Map Content API. This approach is suggested if there is no need for automation at the consumer side. Content can be downloaded from within a web browser or via our Map Content Downloader CLI.

For automation, Map Content API can be used through issuing REST calls with any HTTP client library and processing the responses. You can download content with the HTTP client or combine this approach with the Map Content Downloader CLI.

If you are developing a Java application, a client library is included in the Map Content Downloader CLI.
