Customize ArcWeb Explorer & Pay For It
12 06 2006When I previously posted about the ArcWeb Explorer (AWX) JavaScript API, there was no credit cost for embeding AWX in a custom webpage. This seemed like quite a deal, since you could hook up almost all of the ArcWeb Services. I wondered how long this free-ride would last. Well the answer is "Not long". You must now register your webpage with ArcWeb Services and recieve a AWX API key for custom implementations. There is nothing explicitly dealing with Public Services users on the AWX QuickStart Page or on the AWX registration page. So I don't know what level of access Public Service users get.
Users will have to register their websites with ArcWeb Services, but this by itself does not imply a change in the access people have been getting. This is an authentication mechanism that Public Services users too will have to use.
The JS API is available to Public Service users. An ArcWeb Public Services account offers a subset of the services offered to a paid subscription.
Thank you!
