Can I use ArcGIS Online with the Javascript API?

Hello

I am wondering if I can use ArcGIS Online similar to ArcServer? I am trying to upload tiles to arc online then use them with the API (see below):

<script>
      var map;
   
      require(["esri/map", "esri/layers/ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("my URL?")", "dojo/domReady!"],
        function(Map, Tiles) {
          map = new Map("map", {basemap: "streets",
          center: [-78.785706, -1.774008], // longitude, latitude
          zoom: 7});


          var tiles = new Tiles("https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/.../arcgis/rest/services/ECU_Tiles/MapServer");
          map.addLayer(tiles);
        }
      );
    </script>

I am not sure what the the ("my URL") would be using arcgis online... unless I can't in which case it would make more sense.

Any help and or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can. ArcGIS Online is built on the JavaScript API.

Hi Chris,

Yes, if you browse to the tiled service in ArcGIS Online, there will be a rest URL you can use..

Do you know what I use in the require as my URL or where to find that? I am very new to ArcGIS Online

require(["esri/map", "esri/layers/ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("my URL?")", "dojo/domReady!"],

Thanks!

You will not need to specify a URL in the 'require' portion. It should just be

require(["esri/map", "esri/layers/ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer", ...

This might be a silly question but if I don't make the tiles public it's behind a password that aren't my login credentials(arc onlin). Any thoughts on this?

If you have the ability to make a service public or not in ArcGIS Online, you are usually the owner of the service. Therefore, your ArcGIS.com credentials should be the username/password that can be used.

That's what I would have thought, but it says username/password are incorrect (they are!). Maybe it has something to do with testing the HTML locally. Alright, well thanks again!

Cheers
