Providers requiring registration#

The main group of providers is retrieved from the leaflet-providers project that contains both openly accessible providers as well as those requiring registration. All of them are considered free.

Below is the (potentially incomplete) list of providers requiring registration.

Note

This page is largely taken directly from the leaflet-providers project.

Esri/ArcGIS#

In order to use ArcGIS maps, you must register and abide by the terms of service. No special syntax is required.

Geoportail France#

In order to use Geoportail France resources, you need to obtain an api key that allows you to access the resources you need. Pass this api key to the TileProvider:

xyz.GeoportailFrance.plan(apikey="<insert api_key here>")

Please note that a public api key (choisirgeoportail) is used by default and comes with no guarantee.

HERE and HEREv3 (formerly Nokia)#

In order to use HEREv3 layers, you must register. Once registered, you can create an apiKey which you have to pass to the TileProvider:

# Overriding the attribute will alter the existing object
xyz.HEREv3.terrainDay["apiKey"] = "my-private-api-key"

# Calling the object will return a copy
xyz.HEREv3.terrainDay(apiKey="my-private-api-key")

You can still pass app_id and app_code in legacy projects:

xyz.HERE.terrainDay(app_id="my-private-app-id", app_code="my-app-code")

Jawg Maps#

In order to use Jawg Maps, you must register. Once registered, your access token will be located here and you will access to all Jawg default maps (variants) and your own customized maps:

xyz.Jawg.Streets(
    accessToken="<insert access token here>",
    variant="<insert map id here or blank for default variant>"
)

Mapbox#

In order to use Mapbox maps, you must register. You can get map_ID (e.g. "mapbox/satellite-v9") and ACCESS_TOKEN from Mapbox projects:

xyz.MapBox(id="<insert map_ID here>", accessToken="my-private-ACCESS_TOKEN")

The currently-valid Mapbox map styles, to use for map_IDs, are listed in the Mapbox documentation - only the final part of each is required, e.g. "mapbox/light-v10".

MapTiler Cloud#

In order to use MapTiler maps, you must register. Once registered, get your API key from Account/Keys, which you have to pass to the TileProvider:

xyz.MapTiler.Streets(key="<insert key here>")

Thunderforest#

In order to use Thunderforest maps, you must register. Once registered, you have an api_key which you have to pass to the TileProvider:

xyz.Thunderforest.Landscape(apikey="<insert api_key here>")

TomTom#

In order to use TomTom layers, you must register. Once registered, you can create an apikey which you have to pass to the TileProvider:

xyz.TomTom(apikey="<insert api_key here>")

Stadia Maps#

In order to use Stadia maps, you must register. Once registered, you can whitelist your domain within your account settings.

Alternatively, you can use Stadia maps with an API token but you need to adapt a provider object to correct form.

provider = xyz.Stadia.AlidadeSmooth(api_key="<insert api_key here>")
provider["url"] = provider["url"] + "?api_key={api_key}"  # adding API key placeholder

Ordnance Survey#

In order to use Ordnance Survey layers, you must register. Once registered, you can create a project, assign OS Maps API product to a project and retrieve the key which you have to pass to the TileProvider:

xyz.OrdnanceSurvey.Light(key="<insert api_key here>")
