Currently AGOL supports feature services and tiled map services. You can also reference other ArcGIS Server services including map services. When I query items in AGOL it returns items that have a type property. The problem is the tiled map services from AGOL have type map service as do referenced map services from other ArcGIS Servers. These two items need a different call to add them into the map e.g:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer(url) OR</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(url)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Currently I am differentiating the two by doing a string search on the url for ???tiles??? but this method does not seem to be very robust. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Does anyone know why this is the case? If there is a better way to differentiate the two item types or if this is a bug that will be fixed?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Luke</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:13:09 GMT LukeStewart 2012-08-16T07:13:09Z ArcGIS Online wrong item type from search https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/arcgis-online-wrong-item-type-from-search/m-p/753883#M69704 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>When accessing items from ArcGIS Online in the JavaScript API there seems to be an error in the item type property when a tiled map service from AGOL is returned from a search (portal.queryItems(params)).
