Firewall rules - Domain names and ports to use with Power BI in a secure environment

The Mapbox Visual by default operates using API resources hosted on api.mapbox.com securely requested using HTTPS and your Mapbox access token. If you need all requests to be made inside of your corporate or air-gapped network, you can host Mapbox Atlas on your own server and run the Mapbox Visual for Power BI completely on-premise.

No data in the Power BI data model is ever sent to Mapbox APIs. Only the requested reference resources including map style sheets, vector tiles, icons, and fonts are retrieved from Mapbox APIs.

*.tiles.mapbox.com 443 vector tiles

How many data points does the Mapbox Visual support?

Mapbox supports up to the maximum allowed by Power BI, 30,000 rows, for all visualization types including Choropleth (fill), cluster, heatmap, and circle. If your data is >30k rows, the Mapbox Visual will sample your data down to 30k rows and visualize the resultant sample. If you need to visualize more than 30k rows for your use case, reach out to our sales team to connect you with a Mapbox Partner to setup a custom solution for your use case.
