The connector usually has the "P+N+E, 6h" configuration. `IEC60309DCWhite` - Industrial White connector is a DC connector defined in the IEC 60309 standard. `Tesla` - The Tesla connector is the regionally specific Tesla Supercharger connector. I.e. it refers to either Tesla's proprietary connector, sometimes referred to as Tesla Port mostly limited to North America or the modified Type 2 (DC over Type 2) in Europe. Usage examples: connectorSet=IEC62196Type2CableAttached connectorSet=IEC62196Type2Outlet,IEC62196Type2CableAttached
countrySet	query		string[]	Comma separated string of country/region codes, e.g. FR,ES. This will limit the search to the specified countries/regions
extendedPostalCodesFor	query		SearchIndexes[]	Indexes for which extended postal codes should be included in the results. Available indexes are: Addr = Address ranges Geo = Geographies PAD = Point Addresses POI = Points of Interest Str = Streets XStr = Cross Streets (intersections) Value should be a comma separated list of index types (in any order) or None for no indexes. By default extended postal codes are included for all indexes except Geo. Extended postal code lists for geographies can be quite long so they have to be explicitly requested when needed. Usage examples: extendedPostalCodesFor=POI extendedPostalCodesFor=PAD,Addr,POI extendedPostalCodesFor=None Extended postal code is returned as an extendedPostalCode property of an address. Availability is region-dependent.
language	query		string	Language in which search results should be returned. Should be one of supported IETF language tags, case insensitive. When data in specified language is not available for a specific field, default language is used. Please refer to Supported Languages for details.

view	query		LocalizedMapView	The View parameter (also called the "user region" parameter) allows you to show the correct maps for a certain country/region for geopolitically disputed regions. Different countries/regions have different views of such regions, and the View parameter allows your application to comply with the view required by the country/region your application will be serving. By default, the View parameter is set to “Unified” even if you haven’t defined it in the request. It is your responsibility to determine the location of your users, and then set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you have the option to set ‘View=Auto’, which will return the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding mapping, of the country/region where maps, images and other data and third party content that you are authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available. Example: view=IN. Please refer to Supported Views for details and to see the available Views.

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.

Note

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.
For more information on Microsoft identity platform, see Microsoft identity platform overview.

Type: oauth2
Flow: implicit

subscription-key

This is a shared key that is provisioned when you Create an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal or using PowerShell, CLI, Azure SDKs, or REST API.

With this key, any application can access all REST API. In other words, this key can be used as a master key in the account that they are issued in.

For publicly exposed applications, our recommendation is to use the confidential client applications approach to access Azure Maps REST APIs so your key can be securely stored.

Type: apiKey

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.

LocalizedMapView

The View parameter (also called the "user region" parameter) allows you to show the correct maps for a certain country/region for geopolitically disputed regions. Different countries/regions have different views of such regions, and the View parameter allows your application to comply with the view required by the country/region your application will be serving. By default, the View parameter is set to “Unified” even if you haven’t defined it in the request. It is your responsibility to determine the location of your users, and then set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you have the option to set ‘View=Auto’, which will return the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding mapping, of the country/region where maps, images and other data and third party content that you are authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available. Example: view=IN.
