Openstreetmap static maps is a nodejs lib, CLI and server open source inspired on google static map service
Here you have a demo. Also a dynamic version of the demo, for testing purposes.
sudo npm i -g osm-static-maps
osmsm --help
osmsm -g '{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-105.01621,39.57422]}' > map.png- note: if you have this error trying to install globally
Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/osm-static-maps/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium', it's caused by this pupeteer issue puppeteer/puppeteer#367, you can workaround by installing globally with theunsafe-permflag:
sudo npm i -g osm-static-maps --unsafe-perm=truenpm install osm-static-maps// index.js old school
osmsm = require('osm-static-maps');
osmsm({geojson: geojson})
.then(function(imageBinaryBuffer) { ... })
.catch(function(error) { ... })
// index.js modern style (also supports typescript)
import osmsm from 'osm-static-maps'
const imageBinaryBuffer = await osmsm({geojson})sudo npm i -g osm-static-maps
osmsm serveOr you can use docker-compose
git clone [email protected]:jperelli/osm-static-maps.git
cd osm-static-maps
docker-compose upYou can use the heroku-hosted alternative directly here
We are currently in the cloud beta, contact me directly at [email protected] so I can give you access to the cloud service.
All parameters have a short and long version. The short version can be used only with the shell CLI. The long version can be used with the library and can be passed to the app server as GET query params, or POST json body (remember to set the header Content-Type: application/json)

| M | vectorserverToken | token of the vector tile server (MVT) | 'no-token' |
| D | renderToHtml | returns html of the webpage containing the map (instead of a binary image) | false |
| F | type | format of the image returned ('jpeg'/'png') |
'png' |

| S | style | style to apply to each feature (a json options object) *see note | undefined (leaflet's default) |
| e | haltOnConsoleError | throw error if there is any console.error(...) when rendering the map image |
false |
-
Note on markerIconOptions: it's also accepted a markerIconOptions attribute in the geojson feature, for example
{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-105.01621,39.57422],"markerIconOptions":{"iconUrl":"https://leafletjs.com/examples/custom-icons/leaf-red.png"}} -
Note on style: it's also accepted a pathOptions attribute in the geojson feature, for example
{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-56.698,-36.413],[-56.716,-36.348],[-56.739,-36.311]]],"pathOptions":{"color":"#FF5555"}}(also remember that the#char needs to be passed as%23if you are using GET params)
