$ mapbox-data insert-features 6dcc766430756d74120b9e5ff1c9d4dd traffic.json

The output of the list, insert, and replace commands are line-delimited JSON objects of each feature. If you would like to have the JSON object of the whole FeatureCollection, use the --dump option.

Pipes

mapbox-data insert-features and mapbox-data replace-dataset support stdin: you can pipe into them, and they'll put the data on Mapbox.
