Map Embedding

Map Embedding is the interactive Mountaya map editor served at https://app.mountaya.com/studio/embed, ready to drop into your own page through an <iframe>. It renders your organization's itineraries, collections, and zones over Mountaya's terrain basemaps and environmental overlays, with the same elevation profiles and street view the full studio offers. You configure everything through query parameters on the iframe src, and you can drive it at runtime with a small postMessage API.

When to use it

Reach for Map Embedding when you want a complete, interactive map without building one. It suits trip dashboards, itinerary previews, collection galleries, and any place you would otherwise stand up MapLibre and wire your own controls. If you instead need the raw routing and analysis behind the map, call the Data API; if you want to render Mountaya tiles inside a map you already control, use the Tile API.

Authenticating the embed is a publishable key with the embedding scope (plus a short-lived session_token if your organization enforces one), passed as query parameters because an iframe cannot set request headers. See authentication for the key and session model.

Live preview

The map below is a live embed, rendered with the documentation demo key. It is the same editor you get on your own page.
