It wraps endpoints for directions (driving, walking, cycling profiles), geocoding (forward and reverse), map matching (snapping GPS traces to roads), static map rendering, data uploads, and tile queries. Each method returns raw HTTP response objects, giving you direct access to Mapbox's JSON payloads rather than abstracted resource objects.\n\nThe package depends on requests, boto3, polyline, uritemplate, and utility libraries for date handling and caching. It's designed for developers who need programmatic access to Mapbox services from Python and are comfortable working with HTTP responses directly. However, the repository is archived and unmaintained since 2022-08-01, meaning no new features, security patches, or compatibility updates will be released.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2022-08-01, repository archived) and will receive no maintenance, security updates, or compatibility fixes. If you need Mapbox services in Python, evaluate current official Mapbox offerings or maintained alternatives. Only consider this package if maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"mapbox","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mapbox","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mapbox.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mapbox/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-08-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mapbox","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python client for Mapbox services"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":186636,"position":9981,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.18.1"}
