ParameterDetails
[Common Parameters]

For a complete listing, see Common parameters.

proxies

A JSON array representing the hosted service URLs to proxy. Set the hitsPerInterval and intervalSeconds on each service for different rate limits. A single array JSON can be passed if only setting one service.

Example:

[
    {
      "sourceUrl": "https://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route_World",
      "hitsPerInterval": 100,
      "intervalSeconds": 60
    },
    {
      "sourceUrl": "https://landscape.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA_Roads/ImageServer",
      "hitsPerInterval": 500,
      "intervalSeconds": 60
    } 
]

serviceProxyParams

A JSON object that provides referrer checks when accessing the premium content and optionally rate limiting if it is not set for each service in proxies.

Example:

{
   "referrers": ["https://foo.com", "https://bar.com"],
   "hitsPerInterval": 1000,
   "intervalSeconds": 60
}
