Mapillary API (v4) coverage outside Malmö

Imagery, data, and integrations
1

I’m new to Mapillary, so apologies if this is a stupid question. I have been trying out the API (v4) following this documentation, and everything works provided I use the example bounding boxes (which cover an area of Malmö in Sweden). However when I change the bounding boxes to another area, I don’t get any results.

For example, this returns image ids:

GET https://graph.mapillary.com/images?access_token=$TOKEN&fields=id&bbox=12.967,55.597,13.008,55.607

but this doesn’t:

GET https://graph.mapillary.com/images?access_token=$TOKEN&fields=id&bbox=36.792,-1.322,36.797,-1.327

I have checked on the web app, and there should be imagery in that second bounding box. The same thing happens when I try to use this code posted elsewhere on this forum, that others seem to have had success with. I get everything in Malmö, but nothing in the second bbox.

So my question is - do I not have access to imagery/detections outside of Malmö? If so, is there a way to get access?

Would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance!

The bbox needs to be lower left or southwest, then upper right, or northeast. Your points are southeast, northwest. So if you swap that then should be okay!

Thank you so much! I thought it might be something stupid I’d done, but hadn’t spotted this. Thanks!!
