\"ArcGIS-Online\"<\/a>While exploring the possibilities of ArcGIS API for JavaScript<\/a>, I was wondering how to query a web map that has been created through ArcGIS Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out how to pass my Web Map created through ArcGIS Online as a URL. Especially for “var MapServiceToDisplay” and “var MapServiceToSearch”.<\/p>\n

So here is the answer:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing you have to do is create an account in ArcGIS Online. After catering for profile photos and other general settings, create a map.<\/p>\n

\"create-map-arcgis_online\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next you have to Share this new map<\/p>\n

\"share-arcgis-online_map\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that, add an item to your map, preferably from your computer<\/p>\n

\"arcgisonline-add-item\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember also to Publish this file as a feature layer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"arcgisonline-feature-layer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next: Share this Feature Layer<\/p>\n

\"arcgisonline-share-feature-layer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next step is to Add Feature Layer to Map, Save your map after adding your layer.<\/p>\n

\"arcgisonline-add-layer-to-map\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, as soon as you do that, if you click on the Map that this new layer resides, you will get the following link for the Map Contents:<\/p>\n

\"arcgisonline-link\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can now use this link for var MapServiceToDisplay and var MapServiceToSearch whenever you want to refer to this map as follows:<\/p>\n

var MapServiceToDisplay = “https:\/\/services5.arcgis.com\/3a3dkCUNh3aCnKgy\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/kalyvia_egsa\/FeatureServer\/”;
\nvar MapServiceToSearch = “https:\/\/services5.arcgis.com\/3a3dkCUNh3aCnKgy\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/kalyvia_egsa\/FeatureServer\/0”;<\/p>\n

0 in the line above implies the layer you want to query.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
