The ArcGIS Static Maps service, also known as Static Maps service, is a location service hosted by Esri that generates non-interactive map images called static maps. The service supports displaying a variety of basemap styles and optional geometries such as points, polylines, and polygons. It renders images in jpeg, png, or webp format at specific map scales and custom sizes. No client-side mapping API is required.
The service supports two request methods:
GETrequests create simple static maps and can contain a basemap only or a single geometry with a default symbol.POSTrequests create complex static maps and can contain multiple geometries, multiple geometry types, custom labels, and custom symbols.
The service is available to developers who have an ArcGIS Location Platform account
The service is not available to developers who have an ArcGIS Online account
