basemap session

A basemap session is a timeframe during which a single user of a single application can use a session token to access unlimited basemap tiles from the Basemap Styles service. When a basemap session is created, it provides a short-lived session token that can be used to access basemap styles and tiles from the basemap service for the duration of the session. The maximum duration a basemap session and session token are valid for is up to 12 hours.

There is only one usage cost applied for creating a basemap session and no additional costs for using the session token to make requests to the service for tiles while the session is valid.

The only service that supports basemap sessions is the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service.

The only product that supports basemap sessions is ArcGIS Location Platform.
