Prerequisites
An API key is required to use this connector. Sign up for a ArcGIS Developer account.
How to get an API key
- Sign in to https://developers.arcgis.com
- Click "API keys"
- Click "New API Key" to create a new API key
- Provide a title and description for the API key to create one.
- Before proceeding, remember to configure services. This will depend on the actions you plan to use in the connector.
WARNING: Services accessed through your API key will incur a charge to your account; you should keep the API key secure. Pricing information can be found here.
Get started with ArcGIS PaaS connector
To use the actions in ArcGIS PaaS connector, the underlying service for the API key needs to be configured with appropriate service. Learn more about configuring service for API key here.
The below table describes the action and the underlying service:
| Action | Service |
|---|---|
| Geoenrichment | Geoenrichment |
| Find address candidate | Geocoding |
| Geocode addresses | Geocoding |
| Point to point routing | Routing |
If the result of a Find address candidate or Geocode addresses action will store the results, configure the Geocoding (stored) service instead.
Limitations
When using the Geocode addresses action, for large datasets the input to the action will need to be batched or chunked into multiple individual requests.
| Name | Limit |
|---|---|
| Geocode addresses | 150 rows per request |
| Get data from Feature Layer | 1000 rows per request without geometry |
| Get data from Feature Layer | 150 rows per request with geometry |
| Geometry lookups | 1 geometry per request |
| Point to point routing | 150 stops per request |
Creating a connection
The connector supports the following authentication types:
| Default | Parameters for creating connection. | All regions | Not shareable |
Default
Applicable: All regions
Parameters for creating connection.
This is not shareable connection. If the power app is shared with another user, another user will be prompted to create new connection explicitly.
