Dear all, I have my enterprise geodatabase in sql server DB. I have created the mapservice with 36 layers in one service. Now i want to use the background metadata in my web application. How can i use each layer metadata in my application beside each layer? See the example images, in first image we can see beside each layer there is a Info link to view the metadata and in the second image is showing the metadata page by clicking the Info link. Please suggest me the right way. thanks.

Muqit & SriHarsha,

Metadata of a service or a particular layer can be retrieved by the typical rest service calls to your service.

For example, the below is a call to service that returns metadata in json format for the service itself.
Service URL: https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Network/USA/NAServer/Service%20Area 

Metadata call: https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Network/USA/NAServer/Service%20Area?f=js... 

Here it returns metadata for a particular layer.
URL to a Layer: https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/MapServer/0
