Be among the first to try the ArcGIS Static Maps service (beta)! Designed to empower developers, this service makes it easy to create and embed map images from ArcGIS Basemaps into websites or applications. It is perfect for scenarios where interactive maps aren't necessary or practical.

Esri is releasing several updates to ArcGIS Location Platform including: Snap to Roads: Automatically aligns location data with accurate road geometries, minimizing GPS drift and enriching data with road attributes (available now). ArcGIS Location Platform Status Dashboard: A centralized, real-time view of service health, availability, and incident history (available now). Basemaps Sessions: A new pricing model option for basemaps that enables unlimited tile views during a session or set duration, choose what is best for your solutions (available August 2025). Open Basemaps: A new family of basemaps built from Overture Maps, offering a curated, high-quality, and open alternative for developers (in beta, generally available August 2025). Additionally, the ArcGIS GeoEnrichment service will be updated with new demographic capabilities, and legacy API keys will be deprecated starting June 2026.

Hi @tristans, I have been checking with some folks internally, and there are some subscription types (like ArcGIS Personal Use ArcGIS Online subscription) that are not allowed to use API keys. @tristans wrote: ...According to the documentation, my Professional Plus User Type should give access to the API key credentials... Do you remember where you read this? I would like to make sure it is corrected. Update: The doc was updated and now includes an enhanced list of API Key limitations. Thanks for bringing this up! @tristans wrote: I'm new to the developing side of things and I am trying to complete some developer tutorials and they require an access token, specifically an API Key The truth is that API keys are not mandatory. Some tutorials use API keys because they are easier to configure, but any valid token will be accepted. You can use User authentication to generate one to authorize access to services. You can find a page explaining how to do that with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript using the IdentityManager, and also some tutorials in the open source mapping libraries (like in Esri Leaflet) using ArcGIS REST JS Identity Manager as shown here: That said, if you still want to use API keys, the only option would be to create a new account (separate from the one you already have) at locations.arcgis.com, but this account will not allow you to access the data stored in your current account. I hope this helps. Bests, Raul

Hi Tony!, you are right. Back in November I created a new Postman collection with a step-by-step flow to rotate the API keys. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Awesome tutorial Matthew! I will share that internally with our doc team. Thanks for sharing it. About your comment: I should have clarified - this method is indeed specific to deploying an application, which has a dependency on arcpy, to a server that does not have ArcGIS Enterprise installed I'm glad you mentioned this, I thought the same thing, especially when reading the following sentence: "That is to say, you can’t download and install Python, import arcpy or ArcGIS (the packages containing the ArcGIS Python API), and execute a script outside the ArcGIS ecosystem." If I may, from my humble point of view I wanted to suggest how to rephrase this to make it more accurate: "That is to say, you can download and install the ArcGIS Python API on any machine (arcpy is not required), but you can’t execute arcpy-dependent functions outside the ArcGIS ecosystem." Thanks again for taking the time to write this awesome tutorial, I'm sure it will be of great help for other developers. Raul P.S: I did this Google Colab a few weeks ago as an example to help another developer understand that it was possible.

Hi Helen/@defence_hyang!, thanks for letting me know. I'm going to check internally if it can be updated. Cheers, Raul

Hi @forestknutsen1, Is you are going to use JavaScript you can: Use ArcGIS REST JS routing package, it is a lightweight wrapper to easily use with our APIS which works in the frontend and in the backend. But if you are familiar with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JS, you can use the esri/rest/route module, in the client but also in NodeJS like shown in this tutorial. The Routing chapter in the Mapping APIs and location services guide has a ton of resources to help you with that, including links to the Routing & Directions API collection in Postman. So, you can use route.arcgis.com or route-api.arcgis.com, bot are enhanced endpoints and are functionally equivalente (more). In terms of how to authorize, you have all options available, I would recommend API keys or app credentials, unless the end user of the app has an ArcGIS identity & the app request authentication (types of authentication comparison). And last but not least, should you use ArcGIS Online?? Maybe, you can also use a free ArcGIS Developer account which is tight to ArcGIS Platform and includes: A free tier (20,000 simple routes, 5,000 service areas, ...) And I can be also used for commercial use. More info about differences between account/product types in: Products, subscriptions, and accounts: I hope this helps. Cheers!, Raul

Hi @AndresVettori, yes you can. I highly encourage you to check the Sample codes and Guides. If you prefer, there are also some videos available. I can't give you more guidance without more details, so I hope this helps. Thanks, Raul

Thanks Dan, we really appreciate the feedback. Yes, you are right, I know the team is working to improve that, so I hope we can soon give you a better solution for that soon. Bests, Raul

I know this is an old message, but just in case someone lands in here in the future ... 😉 The new ArcGIS Basemaps styles v2 already support the localization of basemaps as explained in this related question. Here a Change the place label language tutorial using MapLibre. I hope you find it useful 🙂 P.S. @TakahiroKAMIYA can we mark this question as solved?

Hi @MichaelBishopp !, Thanks for your question! Considering this is about Portal I'm going to move it to ArcGIS Enterprise Service Questions. And let me cc: @jill_es which I'm sure will be able to help you 😊

Hi @olysyy, There is no specific endpoint to add layers to a web map or web scene, but there is a generic endpoint to update a web map or web scene specification https://[root]/content/users/[userName]/items/[itemID]/update (POST only). So you will have to previously retrieve the specification using https://[root]/content/items/[itemID]/data modify it according to the Web Map or Web Scene specifications, and save it. If you feel comfortable with JavaScript you can also use the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript from NodeJS as @Anonymous User showed in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3kfswbNf9Y There are also specific functions to work with the REST endpoints within the ArcGIS API for Python or ArcGIS REST JS if you want.

Sorry @JenniferK2 I can not help with this, but I have moved your post to the ArcGIS Storymaps questions. I'm sure @OwenGeo or someone else in here will be able to help you with this. Bests, - Raul
