The ArcGIS Static Maps service enables developers to create and easily embed map images from ArcGIS Basemaps on websites or in applications where interactive maps aren’t the best option. These images can be displayed on web and mobile devices without the aid of a mapping library or API. They look like an embedded map, but do not have interactivity or controls. Static Maps service capabilities enable the visualization of location data through a wide variety of use cases and experiences such as ride hailing, delivery receipts, news articles, or summaries of activities like a recap of your latest run.
To help developers build static maps, this API offers the following functionality:
- centered-at: highlights a location in the center of a map
- using-many-points: displays many locations on a map
- along-a-route: shows a route or path with start and end points on a map
The developer can customize symbols and lines to match company branding, mapping styles, or UI design. There are easy-to-use GET requests, with POST requests offering additional functionality.
