Streaming - Basemaps

The Streaming - Basemaps API provides OGC compliant services for streaming Vivid basemap imagery and seamlines. Basemaps and seamlines are returned from different endpoints. Because of this, we've created separate guides for Basemaps and Seamlines.

• Read the Intro to the Basemap API to learn the basics of the both Vivid basemaps and seamlines endpoints.

• Follow the steps in the Streaming Vivid Basemaps Quickstart to get an API token and retrieve a Vivid Standard 30 Basemap image.

Use the left-hand sidebar to navigate through the Basemap and Seamlines WFS, WMS, and WMTS guides.
