Add apiKey in "MapOptions.initStyle" URL

[ErwanJes]

Hi there!

We're using a secured endpoint for our map style, which requires authentication via an API key.
Is there a way to attach an API key or a Bearer token when requesting the style URL?

MapLibreMap(
  options: MapOptions(
    initStyle: "https://style", // <-- need to add a header there
  ),
  onMapCreated: (controller) {
  },

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ErwanJes,

unfortunately there is currently no built-in solution to modify the request headers. In the MapLibre android SDK I think you would normally do this by setting a custom OkHttpClient that has a request interceptor (see the docs).

In case you are able to change the tile server, many public tile server providers use a key query parameter for authentication instead of an authentication header: https://my-tile-server.example/style.json?key=token. The same principle would then be used for the various tile sources in the style.

A workaround solution could be to fetch the style in Flutter and provide MapLibre with the downloaded JSON.

Let me know about solution you prefer and want to go with. 😄

Thank you for the quick reply!

For now, I’ll try to update the server configuration and hope it does the job
