Query parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefault valueDescription
worldviewstring

Optional, case-sensitive parameter to control the boundary lines and

tokenstring

The authentication token, used to access the Basemap styles service.

fstringjson

An optional parameter to specify the format in which the response is given. It can either be json or pjson.

echoTokenboolean

An optional parameter to control whether the response includes the token to access style resources.

worldview

Optional, case-sensitive parameter to control the boundary lines and labels displayed with some ArcGIS styles.

To select a US edition of a basemap style, set the worldview parameter to unitedStatesOfAmerica.

If the worldview parameter is not set, the style will use the standard set of boundary lines and labels as defined by the style, rather than the specific view of a single country.

The worldview parameter allows you to display an edition of basemap borders and labels based on the specific view of a country. Please note that it is not that country's international policy outside of their country.

When a specific worldview is chosen, it is possible for some labels to change language. However, when the language query parameter is used in combination with the worldview selection, the explicitly selected language will take priority over any language changes associated with the worldview.

token

The authentication token, used to access the Basemap styles service.

The token parameter can be:

  • an API key
  • a short-lived token
  • a session token generated by the sessions/start endpoint

API keys and short-lived tokens must be created from an account with the premium:user:basemaps privilege.

Session tokens must be created from an ArcGIS Location Platform account with the premium:user:basemaps privilege.

Note that session tokens cannot be used with the sessions/start endpoint or to fetch custom styles.

This parameter is required unless you supply an access token in the request header with one of the following keys using the "Bearer" scheme:

  • Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>
  • X-Esri-Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>

echoToken

An optional parameter to control whether the response includes the token to access style resources.

If the echoToken parameter is not provided, the basemap styles response defaults to automatically including the token. If echoToken is provided with a false value, the response will not include the token. In this case, the token must be included with all tile and glyph requests. This approach is more secure.

Default
true
