I want to load mvt tiles into QGIS through a URL service
https://abc.com:8080/buildings/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt
But, the menu in the Vector Tile Reader plugin allows TileJSON URL.
Is there any way I can load mvt tiles in QGIS environment?

What happens when you put that URL into the plugin?– HeikkiVesantoCommented Jan 9, 2018 at 12:27

Returns the following error. "The field ''vector_layers' is required but not found. This is invalid TileJSON.– raosaeedaliCommented Jan 9, 2018 at 12:53

what format are your Map Vector Tiles?– nmtokenCommented Jan 9, 2018 at 13:19

@nmtoken tiles are in pbf format.– raosaeedaliCommented Jan 10, 2018 at 4:50

Wrote my own script to decode and display mapbox vector tiles parsed as pbf in QGIS. Closing...– raosaeedaliCommented Jan 19, 2018 at 12:36

r = requests.get(url)
# ------------------------Decryption------------------------
response = r.content
decoded_data = mapbox_vector_tile.decode(response)
Import relevant modules to your sript, parse the URL to your specific tile at specific zoom level for example;
https://abc.com:8080/buildings/16/4059/6568.mvt
Here 16/4059/6568 are zoom level X and Y numbers of your requested tile id.
After that you can print decoded data to see the decoded JSON of your tile.

Great, thank you. I didn't hope that the mapbox_vector_tile module was in qgis's python Commented May 25, 2018 at 13:03

@OscarCampo No it was not. You have to load it using Pip. Commented May 26, 2018 at 4:47
