1) The documentation below shows some examples with various stuff after the /tile/ is this important?

${z}/${y}/${x} - is this a "format" where you substitute your values or is this a sort of wild card?. Is this required?

Uses DOUBLE {{}} - is this a typo? If not, what do double brackets mean?

2) Is the "tile template URL" format documented anywhere?

3) Are there any map project requirements?

4) Do I need the "*.png" piece?

Hi Jonathan,

Yes, there is an error in the documentation. For ArcGIS tiled map services, you should be able to simply use the URL to /MapServer, https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/UTBp78iglGpbqp1B/arcgis/rest/services/slrrppc_tile/MapServer, by itself. We have an issue filed to update the documentation.
