Styles

Today: the default Rana style is live. Styles made by businesses in Rana Studio are live since 11 November 2026.

A style decides how the Rana map looks: colours, which layers show, and labels. You make one in Rana Studio, publish it, and use its code in the SDKs (style: "k7m2x9pq").

Style addresses

https://api.ranamaps.com/v1/styles/<code>/style.json                 latest published revision
https://api.ranamaps.com/v1/styles/<code>/style.json?revision=3      that published revision, which never changes
https://api.ranamaps.com/v1/styles/default/style.json                the default Rana style

• <code> is 8 characters from 23456789abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz, for example k7m2x9pq.
• Pin ?revision=N in a released app, so its look never changes under you.
• Only published revisions load. A draft, an unknown code and a suspended organisation's style answer 404 {"error":"not_found"}. A bad revision answers 400 invalid_revision.
• Styles allow any origin and are cached for 60 seconds. A new publish can take a minute to show.
• A style can point only at *.ranamaps.com hosts.

Making and publishing

1. Open the Rana base style in Studio, change colours and layers, and save. A draft is visible only to your members.
2. Publish. The saved revision becomes readable by anyone with the code. A published revision never changes.
3. Publish again for a new revision. Older revisions keep working.

Attribution

Studio keeps "© Rana Maps © OpenStreetMap" on every style. Do not remove it, and do not hide the map's attribution control.

Coverage

Styles draw whatever the tiles hold: roads across Nigeria once the Nigeria release is deployed, with the most street names and places in Lagos.

Planned

When key checks start, loading a style and its tiles will need a public key. The address may move to maps-api.ranamaps.com; both changes are announced in the changelog first.
