ESRI geocoder - Does all use now require a token?

JosephElfelt1 — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 20:16:16 GMT

I have a leaflet map that uses the ESRI geocoder. My map gets one location per request, displays that spot on the map[ and does not save the data.

However, today the geocoder sends my map this message:

"code": 499, "message": "Token Required"

Can anyone shed light?

@JosephElfelt1 did you see this page that shows the steps to set up Leaflet with the geocode service?

it should have all the steps you need to get an API key and add that to your Leaflet app use the geocode service.

I have been using the following geocoding service which is in the ESRI Leaflet documentation. L.esri.Geocoding.geocode()

And it has worked fine without an API key or token up until just recently.

But if necessary I can switch to the REST API geocoding service.

Please try the update. We did note in the github repo the updated terms https://github.com/esri/esri-leaflet#terms, the API key is going to be required.

Thanks for the info John. I will review the TOS and use the update.
