Earth Engine is introducing noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on April 27, 2026. Learn more.
Parameters identical to ee.data.getMapId, plus, optionally:

region (E,S,W,N or GeoJSON) Geospatial region of the image to render. By default, the whole image.
format (string) Encoding format. Only 'gif' is accepted.
framesPerSecond (number) Animation speed.

It accepts parameters like `dimensions` (thumbnail size), `region` (area of interest), `format` ('gif' only), and `framesPerSecond` (animation speed). An optional `callback` function handles the resulting URL; otherwise, the call is synchronous. The method returns an Object or String containing the URL, or `undefined` if a callback was used. The ImageCollection instance is the targeted object of the method.\n"]]
