IAM Delegated Access not supported with slippy maps
IAM Delegated Access is not supported with slippy maps due to the nature of how slippy maps work. We strongly encourage you to use cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs instead of slippy maps.
To use IAM Delegated Access with geospatial/tiled imagery, please use NITF, GeoTIFF, or COG files.
Slippy map specifications
When importing slippy map data, make sure your import file contains this information and follows this format.

GeoTIFF (standard or cloud-optimized) and NITF specifications
When you upload a NITF file, Labelbox will convert it to a COG file and upload the asset. If it is already a COG file, Labelbox will skip the conversion and upload the asset natively. Since COG files can have many extension names, Labelbox will check the header of the file to verify that it is a COG file.
Item | Supported Options | Comments |
|---|---|---|
Coordinate Systems |
| If your COG files are not one of these supported coordinates systems, it must be converted prior to upload into Labelbox. We require that the the files are geo-referenced in order to render on our map |
Coordinate System Type | Projected CRS | Our editor only supports a Projected CRS (coordinate reference system). If you are using a geographic coordinate reference system, please convert it. |
Bands | We support up to 4 bands:
Internal color-interpretation must be set on NITF files. | If your COG files have a band outside of these four support bands, the tiles will not be able to render in our editor. The alpha band must also be an "explicit alpha" meaning that the fourth band must be grouped under the alpha band and not in the "unknown" band |
Alternative layers | Additional GeoTIFF/NITF layer, specified as a URL/path to the file. | |
NITF Version | If you are using NITF files, they must be in NITF 2.0 or 2.1 format. | |
File Size | up to 1 GB recommended | If you require larger files - please convert the files to cloud-optimized GeoTIFF and upload |

Verify files are processed
File processing can take up to 20 mins
Since GeoTIFF or NITF files can be very large, the conversion can sometimes take up to 20 minutes to perform a data upload.
You can verify whether a file conversion is complete by checking the Media Attributes section.
If the Mime type shows as application/x-tms-geo, the file was successfully processed.
If the Mime type still shows as application/json, the file pre-processing has not yet been completed.
Import geospatial data via the Python SDK
For geospatial and custom-defined Data Rows, you have to specify the Data Row in a JSON format. Here's an example with alternative layers, bounds, attachments (text, image, and google maps widget).
import labelbox
import json
#Enter your API key
API_KEY = ""
client = labelbox.Client(api_key=API_KEY)
#create a new dataset
dataset = client.create_dataset(name="Geospatial import example")
#Create data row

data_row = dataset.create_data_row(row_data=json.dumps(payload))
