Month: September 2018

I’m preparing to move to new (faster and more affordable) server.

If all goes well I’ll move services over to the new machine on Sunday evening (September 30th, 18:00UTC).

During the switchover the service will be offline for an hour or two, for moving over existing rendering results to the new machine and doing some testing.

After that rendering should be a little bit faster as all databases will fit on the machines SSDs then, and there will be enough “rotating rust” HDD space for keeping rendered results around for a few months instead of just a some two weeks again.

The OSM Carto standard style, and its German countarpart, have been upgraded to v4.15.0.

The first public version of the HTTP API is now live, allowing you to submit render request from within your own applications.

Also new, shorter, host names now exist to access the service, instead of https://maposmatic.osm-baustelle.de/ you can now also use https://print.get-map.org/ and https://api.get-map.org/ , all of these being aliases for the same MapOSMatic instance.

There’s also API documentation, including a few simple PHP example programs, available as HTML and PDF

I pushed some changes live today, there were a few gliches during the transition, but all things should be back to working state now.
