topic Refresh arcgis.com map periodically or via interface in ArcGIS Online Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/refresh-arcgis-com-map-periodically-or-via/m-p/146934#M7212 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Does anyone know if it's possible to refresh an arcgis.com map display programmatically?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Scenario 1.) arcgis.com map embedded on my website. I have a button on the page (next to map) which when clicked, makes some restful request (maybe deletes or adds a feature to my feature service). I would also like to force the map to refresh at that time to that it shows the update to the service. Zoom extent, layer visibility, etc... must not change though...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Scenario 2.) Similar to above, but want the map to refresh periodically with no need for user to interact with interface. Perhaps the map is reading a map service which is being updated constantly, like with AVL type data.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best if the refresh is subtle. So, the basemap should not refresh, just the effected service, if possible.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Looking for some hints or tips from anyone who has attempted this.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:29:46 GMT ZorbaConlen 2012-03-08T23:29:46Z Refresh arcgis.com map periodically or via interface https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/refresh-arcgis-com-map-periodically-or-via/m-p/146934#M7212 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Does anyone know if it's possible to refresh an arcgis.com map display programmatically?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Scenario 1.) arcgis.com map embedded on my website.

You could put a map control on the page, point it at an ArcGIS.com web map and write the code you need to do your task. Here's a link to the API documentation.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/">http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Check out the JavaScript API forum for questions on building apps.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/15-ArcGIS-API-for-JavaScript">http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/15-ArcGIS-API-for-JavaScript</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Mike</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:44:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/refresh-arcgis-com-map-periodically-or-via/m-p/146935#M7213 MikeMinami 2012-03-09T15:44:58Z
