URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
api-version	query	True	string	Version number of Azure Maps API. Current version is 2022-08-01
tilesetId	query	True	TilesetID	A tileset is a collection of raster or vector data broken up into a uniform grid of square tiles at preset zoom levels. Every tileset has a tilesetId to use when making requests. The tilesetId for tilesets created using Azure Maps Creator are generated through the Tileset Create API. The ready-to-use tilesets supplied by Azure Maps are listed below. For example, microsoft.base.

Request Header

Name	Required	Type	Description
x-ms-client-id		string	Specifies which account is intended for usage in conjunction with the Microsoft Entra ID security model. It represents a unique ID for the Azure Maps account and can be retrieved from the Azure Maps management plane Account API. To use Microsoft Entra ID security in Azure Maps see the following articles for guidance.

Responses

Name	Type	Description
200 OK	MapTileset	OK
Other Status Codes	ErrorResponse	An unexpected error occurred.

Security

AADToken

These are the Microsoft Entra OAuth 2.0 Flows. When paired with Azure role-based access control it can be used to control access to Azure Maps REST APIs. Azure role-based access controls are used to designate access to one or more Azure Maps resource account or sub-resources. Any user, group, or service principal can be granted access via a built-in role or a custom role composed of one or more permissions to Azure Maps REST APIs.

To implement scenarios, we recommend viewing authentication concepts. In summary, this security definition provides a solution for modeling application(s) via objects capable of access control on specific APIs and scopes.

Notes

This security definition requires the use of the x-ms-client-id header to indicate which Azure Maps resource the application is requesting access to. This can be acquired from the Maps management API.

The Authorization URL is specific to the Azure public cloud instance. Sovereign clouds have unique Authorization URLs and Microsoft Entra ID configurations. * The Azure role-based access control is configured from the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs. * Usage of the Azure Maps Web SDK allows for configuration based setup of an application for multiple use cases.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when creating an Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this key, any application is authorized to access all REST APIs. In other words, these can currently be treated as master keys to the account which they are issued for.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use server-to-server access of Azure Maps REST APIs where this key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey
In: header

SAS Token

This is a shared access signature token is created from the List SAS operation on the Azure Maps resource through the Azure management plane via Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST APIs.

With this token, any application is authorized to access with Azure role-based access controls and fine-grain control to the expiration, rate, and region(s) of use for the particular token. In other words, the SAS Token can be used to allow applications to control access in a more secured way than the shared key.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to configure a specific list of allowed origins on the Map account resource to limit rendering abuse and regularly renew the SAS Token.

MapTileset

Metadata for a tileset in the TileJSON format.

Name	Type	Description
attribution	string	Copyright attribution to be displayed on the map. Implementations MAY decide to treat this as HTML or literal text. For security reasons, make absolutely sure that this field can't be abused as a vector for XSS or beacon tracking.
bounds	number[]	The maximum extent of available map tiles. Bounds MUST define an area covered by all zoom levels. The bounds are represented in WGS:84 latitude and longitude values, in the order left, bottom, right, top. Values may be integers or floating point numbers.
center	number[]	The default location of the tileset in the form [longitude, latitude, zoom]. The zoom level MUST be between minzoom and maxzoom. Implementations can use this value to set the default location.
