A web scene is a scene that is stored as an item in ArcGIS Online . A web scene item contains all of the configuration settings for the scene (in JSON format) such as extent , basemap , data layers , and styles . Applications can access and display the web scene using its item ID .
In this tutorial, you access and display a pre-configured web scene stored in ArcGIS Online.
Prerequisites You 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 pen To get started, either complete the Display a map tutorial or use this pen . Set the API key To access ArcGIS services , you need an API key .
Go to your dashboard to get an API key .
In CodePen , set the apiKey
to your key, so it can be used to access basemap layer and location services.

esriConfig.apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY" ;
const map = new Map ({
basemap : "arcgis-topographic" // Basemap layer service
});
Add modules In the require
statement, delete the Map
and MapView
modules. Add the WebScene
, SceneView
, and Legend
modules.
More info The ArcGIS API for JavaScript uses AMD modules . The require
function is used to load modules so they can be used in the main function
. It's important to keep the module references and function parameters in the same order.

Load the web scene You can use the portal item ID to create a WebScene
. The web scene will be passed to the view .
Delete the code that creates the Map
and the MapView
.
