CartoDB needs api key

[gaetan....@gmail.com]

Hi,

Following the recent changes to CARTO basemap usage (see https://carto.com/basemaps/apikey/), an API key is now required with ?key=xxxx param.

The MapStore documentation does not seem to explain how this API key should be configured :

https://docs.mapstore.geosolutionsgroup.com/en/latest/developer-guide/maps-configuration/#map-configuration

MapStore can use CARTO basemaps through the tile provider mechanism:

https://github.com/geosolutions-it/MapStore2/blob/5e0ea6dd6c2b7389f8b0a8bfa7dba498319a58bf/web/client/utils/ConfigProvider.js#L523

However, I have not been able to make the API key work when configuring the layer in new.json > layers.

I tried the following configurations:

1. Using an apiKey property and a placeholder in the URL:

{ "url": "https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/{variant}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png/?key={apiKey}", "apiKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "provider": "CartoDB.Positron" }

This does not work.

2. Adding the API key directly to the URL:

{ "url": "https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/{variant}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png/?key=xxxxxxxxxxx", "provider": "CartoDB.Positron" }

This does not work either.

Is there currently a supported way to provide a CARTO API key when using a tileprovider layer such as CartoDB.Positron ?

If not, would support for passing the API key to the underlying tile provider need to be added to MapStore ?

Thanks.

This works with a custom provider : 

{
  "type": "tileprovider",
  "title": "CartoDB Positron",
  "provider": "custom",
  "name": "CartoDB.Positron",
  "group": "background",
  "visibility": true,
  "url": "https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "options": {
    "subdomains": ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
  },
  "thumbURL": "https://preprod-sig.sesan.fr/logo/thumbnail/CartoDB.Positron.jpg"
},

I’m not sure whether the default CartoDB provider is still usable.

Dear Gaetan,

This works with a custom provider 

That's the correct one, I confirm.

I’m not sure whether the default CartoDB provider is still usable.

We will double check the list. Thanks.
