Coverage API - Speedup and filtering by creator/org

Imagery, data, and integrations
1

Hi all,
I’m working with the Mapillary api v4 “Coverage tiles” to get sequence geometries for coverage from a specific user.
Endpoint: https://tiles.mapillary.com/maps/vtp/mly1_public/2/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=XXX
I’ve found that a zoom level of 6 results in too jagged lines, and am now using zoom level 10. However, this means that the runtime is quite long for a large area.

My question is:
Is there a way to speed up this process by including a filter on creator_id during the query process? or is there another way to increase runtime that has been done before?

Side question: is there a way to get a mapping of creator_id to organisation_id?

Thank you!

to speed up, it would be super nice if one could filter by date, something like

https://tiles.mapillary.com/maps/vtp/mly1_public/2/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=XXX &dateFrom=2024-04-01

is that possible now or realistic to come in the future?

Mapillary tiles are pre-generated so you could only apply some filtering on the client-side, after downloading them. The API, however, has creator and organization filters in order to efficiently get all images belonging to an user or organization: API Documentation
