Learn how to add a vector tile layer to a map .
A vector tile layer is a hosted data layer . The data is vector tile data. You can create a vector tile layer by publishing your data with data management tools .
In this tutorial, you display a parcels layer from a public vector tile service , using the default styling.
PrerequisitesYou need a free ArcGIS developer account to access your dashboard and API keys . The API key must be scoped to access the services used in this tutorial.
Steps Create a new penTo get started, either complete the Display a map tutorial or use this pen . Set the API keyTo access ArcGIS location services , you need an API key .
Go to your dashboard to get an API key .
In CodePen , update apiKey
to use your key.
