Static basemap tiles service (beta)

The static basemap tiles service is a location service that provides access to raster basemap tiles for the world. The service supports a number of ArcGIS styles such as navigation, streets, outdoor, and light-gray. The tiles are returned as PNG files.

To access tiles from the service, you use the static tile endpoint for your preferred style and supply the desired level, row, and column.

For example:

/arcgis/streets/static/tile/{level}/{row}/{column}; or,
/arcgis/streets/static/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}.

Tiles are supplied as 512x512 .png files in a Web Mercator spatial reference.

Each style also has a metadata endpoint (for example /arcgis/streets/static) that provides details such as the tiling scheme and attribution. Basemap attribution is required when building and deploying mapping applications that use the Static basemap tiles service. There are two types of attribution that you need to display:

Powered by Esri.
Attribution for the data source providers.

For more details see Basemap attribution.

This documentation is the REST API reference for the service endpoint, requests, parameters, and supported types. The API reference is also available with the OpenAPI Specification.
