Mapbox Classic will be deprecated

[rominavarela]

Hi, I have a project using "classic" Mapbox imagery layers, which will be deprecated,
¿Is there any plans to migrate to the new Mapbox?

[pjcozzi]

Thanks for the report. Do you have a link with more info on the deprecation?

[rominavarela]

I asked to mapbox support and they told me they will keep such "classic" version "for the forseeable future". I still think cesium should migrate to the new style, which announcement is in https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-studio-tiles-static/

Here's the API for getting raster tiles from a style:
https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#retrieve-raster-tiles-from-styles

The URI should look like this:
https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/{username}/{style_id}/tiles/{tileSize}?/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token={access_token}

Hi.
I'm using Cesium.UrlTemplateImageryProvider like following code.

var MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'; 
var MAPBOX_STYLE_ID = 'YOUR_STYLE_ID'; 
var MAPBOX_USERNAME = 'YOUR_USERNAME';

var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
var layers = viewer.imageryLayers;

// Mapbox api url
var url = 'https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/' + MAPBOX_USERNAME + '/' + MAPBOX_STYLE_ID + '/tiles/256/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=' + MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN;

var customImageryProvider = new Cesium.UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
  url : url
});
layers.addImageryProvider(customImageryProvider);

It works for me.

@hpinkos do you refer to the additional options that should be passed to MapboxImageryProvider, right?

[pjcozzi]

Thanks again for the issue, @rominavarela! Would you like to make the update to Cesium? For info on contributing, see CONTRIBUTING.md. Thanks!

[bampakoa]

Is this still valid?

[hpinkos]

@bampakoa we haven't made any changes here. I believe this is something we still want to do, but Mapbox hasn't removed support for the old API for fetching tiles so it hasn't been a priority for us to update to use styles instead.

[bampakoa]

@hpinkos I would be happy to help on that if it's ok. Maybe submit a proposal PR for an additional imagery provider?

[hpinkos]

Yes, thanks @bampakoa!
