Query parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefault valueDescription

string

Optional case-sensitive parameter to specify the preferred language for basemap labels.

string

The authentication token, created from an ArcGIS Location Platform account, with the premium:user:staticbasemaptiles privilege, used to access the static basemap tiles service.

language

Optional case-sensitive parameter to specify the preferred language for basemap labels.

This query parameter uses language codes to specify the preferred language. If not set, or if no translation is available, the default basemap labels will be used.

The language codes use the CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) format string that uses a two letter language code (e.g. "fr" for French) optionally followed by a two letter country code (e.g. "fr-CA" for French in Canada).

If an unsupported language code is used, then the service will attempt to fall-back to the closest available language. This is done by stripping regional and extension sub-tags to find a known language code. For example, French Canadian (fr-CA) is unsupported so this falls back to French fr.

Should the fallback fail, then the service will default to showing the default basemap labels.

Language codes:

  • English - en
  • Dutch - nl
  • Danish - da
  • Finnish - fi
  • French - fr
  • German - de
  • Norwegian - nb

token

The authentication token, created from an ArcGIS Location Platform account, with the premium:user:staticbasemaptiles privilege, used to access the static basemap tiles service.

The token parameter can be either an API Key or short-lived token. See ArcGIS security documentation for more information on authenticating with a token or API key.

Alternatively, you can supply a token in the request header with one of the following keys using the "Bearer" scheme:

  • Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>
  • X-Esri-Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>

Path parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefault valueDescription

integer

The level of detail (or "tile matrix set") requested for a tile.

integer

Row index of the tile on the selected level of detail.

integer

Column index of the tile on the selected level of detail.

level

The level of detail (or "tile matrix set") requested for a tile.

The level parameter is described as the z component in some systems.

Supplying a level of 0 returns the smallest scale of tiles (e.g. the global scale) and a level of 22 returns ths largest scale (e.g. street scale).

Note that the static basemap tiles service uses the tiling scheme of the underlying vector tile service (512x512 pixels), rather than the traditional image tile scheme (256x256 pixels). This means that static basemap tiles service zoom levels are 1 less than those of other APIs. For example: level 12 is equivalent to level 13 for other image map tile services.

The table below shows the resolution and scale of each level:
