The ArcGIS Static Maps service is a location service that generates non-interactive map images, also known as static maps. With static maps, you can display a basemap and an optional overlay with geometries. Basemap styles such as arcgis/streets, arcgis/navigation, and arcgis/imagery are supported. The overlay can contain points, polylines, and polygons with default or custom symbols. Images are rendered in JPEG, PNG, or WEBP format and can be generated at specific scales and custom sizes to meet your application requirements.

You can create simple or complex maps using the following endpoints:

  • GET: Basemap and one geometry with a default symbol.
  • POST: Basemap and multiple geometries with custom symbols.

Static maps are ideal when you need to display a map in a web app, mobile app, report, email, receipt, or other static output without supporting user interaction such as panning or zooming.
