basemap usage model

A basemap usage model is a programming pattern for an application that determines the type of basemap consumption and the associated costs of accessing a basemap service.

There are two types of basemap usage models:

• Tile usage model: A programming pattern that uses an access token to access basemaps. Usage occurs for all requests to the service that return basemap tiles. Usage is measured for the total number of basemap tiles consumed.
• Session usage model: A programming pattern that uses basemap sessions and a session token to access basemaps. Usage is measured by the total number of requests to the service to create basemap sessions. There is only one cost for creating a basemap session, and while the session and session token are valid, unlimited requests can be made to the service with no additional costs.

The only service that supports both usage models is the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service.

The only product that supports both usage models is ArcGIS Location Platform.
