AGOL connecting OSM API in map view

AndrewHankinson — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 02:44:09 GMT

I have tried to add an OSM API to a map view but when I try to add following the below

>Add layer from URL

>Paste in URL

>Select 'WMTS OGC'

I get an error - Service does not exist or is inaccessible.

When I add the same OSM API via the same method to map view classic it works fine.

What am I missing? Is this function just not available yet in the map view?

For basic map loading, as OP is wanting, on native Android, it's free. Even for 500k+ requests. If they're using JavaScript embedded in a WebView, then that's a different story, but there's no need to use OSM for this unless you specifically do not want to use Google Maps.

Hey Andrew,

Is there a key with the API? If so then this will need to be added as a custom parameter when using Map Viewer, rather than being included in the WMTS URL.

Hope that helps!

Hi @David_McRitchie ,

Thanks for getting back to me.

There is an Project API key and a Project API secret key.

I have tried to add the WMTS API Endpoint address and then entered in both of the above as a custom parameters (seperately) and I still get 'Service does not exist or is inaccessible'

I've added a screenshot for reference.

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for getting back and showing a screenshot. The key itself should go under Value and the word "key" should go under Parameter. Top of my head I cannot remember if it matters if this is capitalised so I would try this in upper and lower case.

Hopefully that fixes things. I would also suggest deleting that screenshot as the API key could be used by other users viewing the thread. With OpenStreetMap I don't think this could be done maliciously, but it could lead to rate limiting if someone spammed requests to the service.

Hope that helps!

David

I am having a similar issue - would it be possible to see the original screenshot with the API key lined out?
