ArcGIS Online is a web-based platform geographic information system (GIS). ArcGIS Online services are managed by Esri and accessed by a client running on a wide range of options.

The instructions that follow demonstrate how to connect to OS NGD API – Features using ESRI ArcGIS Online.

What you need

  • Access to the ESRI ArcGIS Online service.

  • A preloaded base map, for example, .

  • OS NGD API – Features added to an API project in the OS Data Hub with an API Key. See for more information.

Instructions

1

Add a new layer

Once you've signed into your ESRI ArcGIS Online account and opened the map viewer. Zoom in to a small area to reduce the number of requests that are initially sent to the API.

  • Select Layers > Add > Add layer from URL.

2

Add an API and set up custom parameters

In the Add Layer dialog:

  • URL: Enter the base URL for OS NGD API – Features, excluding the API Key. For example, https://api.os.uk/features/ngd/ofa/v1.

  • Type: Select OGC feature layer.

  • Select Custom request parameters and enter the following:

    • Parameter: key

    • Value: [Insert your OS API Key here]

  • Click Next.

3

Adding layers to the map

In the Add Layer dialog:

  • To add a layer to the map: Select a layer to add to the map and then click Add to map.

The layer will then display in the Layers panel and the data will display on the map:

Features will automatically refresh when you zoom or pan on the map. If you wish to add multiple layers to the same map, repeat steps 2 and 3.
